A Beautiful Memory

With music playing from across the room, the notes of love are drifting through the air, and in my heart our romance still abloom with bodies swaying to our song so fair. I hear your whispers echo in my mind, those playful words designed to light my fire; the passion that we always sought to find; that lustful high for which our souls aspire. The way your hands would gently touch my face as tender lips of pink came close to mine; your camisole of black Chantilly lace, these thoughts of you now leave my heart to pine. But since the angels took your soul away, my sanity, these memories belay. January 5, 2019

So lovely, John. At least you have those beautiful memories. Nice one for sure! And, it's so nice to read poetry by someone who has a good command of the English language!

Carole, thank you so much for the kind words. I appreciate the comment on my command of the language; as an accountant language is not my strong suit so a comment like that means a lot. Thank you. John
