Memories of Yesterday

Lovers drift away with my yesterday Yet, leave their shadows behind to remind In the midst of my mind's eye, they will stay To drift back again, when I rest to find They share a memory's time which lingers And a faded face of silent sadness A wish that had fallen through my fingers Those days of love's emotional madness When each day and night was meant for lovers Who sought paradise where the world belies When kisses begot love one discovers And soft warm tongues exchanged mints between sighs The timelessness of days forever gone Are only memories to look upon 11/29/21 contest "Y" New Poems sponsor Constance La France word...Yesterday
