Romance That Was

"When tomorrow comes and I'm again with you,
I'll stand on your feet while we dance forever." 
Quote _ by poet


Yesterday seasons waved goodbye
as we listened to sounds of joy.

Spacious skies ever made anew
from sincere blue to jealous green.

Crosswise threads wind and hours drew nights
penciled footsteps patterns drew faint.

A wanderer of aged mirth, glean
quintessence love set forever.

Underneath sun amorous view
sweet golden years, not a goodbye.

You and I, unfinished garden
of poetic dreams and romance.

My love, my being still feels your
touch and hear your whispers of love.
