Paradise Lost

Paradise lost Youthful memories is all that I have to cherish, Agony of losing a dear one how can anyone embellish? There were times my thoughts were so positive, Your love my life, I was always imperative, Now living in past, there's hardly any charm, Once so bubbly, I now remain calm, Redness of my cheeks is on a fade, Glowing thoughts, now a weary jade, Your sweet words are my prized possession, Diary that once giggled, is a teary succession, Still I hold it dear, very close to my heart, Although enough to tear my soul apart, Orangery of my twilights is covered with frost, Without your passion, I am in a paradise lost !
