Marina Melody Memories







                      San Francisco Jazz Afternoons


Carries me back to those special Sunday afternoons with you.
The striped awning Jazz cafe, our very unique,ibeloved rendezvous.


The smell of the glorious, scents of the Pacific Ocean,
Those brown flirtatious huge eyes,lashes, my West Coast sensation!

My diamond engagement ring glittered like rainbow butterfly wings.
Memories of Coltrane, Davis, music that made you my heart laugh and sing.

San Francisco, always the beguiling, mystical jewel of my heart. 
Everyday people who loved peace,jazz music, discourse, finest coffee and art.

You later, bought a fresh, intoxicating gardenia for my ebony bobbed hair.
Do you recall later, Union Street in The City’s, moist, foggy, sensuous air?

The spiritual City, was indeed our forever souls', sparking, galaxy prime, 
We were both as daystars, walking its winding streets, so totally divine!

Hello Panagiota, the areas where we live always changes. Whether we like it or not. Yes I think I would like SF. I have never been there. Hugs. /Darlene\ xxx

Hello Darlene, I tried to be as descrotive as I could. You would have loved SF in the late 60’s. It’s not the same anymore,peace and joy were everywhere. Pangie Xxxpooo

Hello Gprhon May all be well with you. I agree with you and your comment, and I’m amazed at the no comments, on this. Far poorer poems have I penned. But….a comment magnet I am not. Nor ever have I …been.likewise, I do not comment often. Aging is slowing me down. My energies are…in writing. And I am no one or two liner. Even in comments.))Still learning! Sending you blessings and joy.from my poetic soul. Panagiota

Hi Belle, I loved those days so much. Nothing can replace their elegance nor beauty, I might re write this, I want a stronger punch to it. I thought I was living a dream. I can see Union Street, with my minds eye in a snow globe! Magical memories, Belle….the Best, Pangie
