The Reverie Was Lost

In youth, loves kindles, ignites flames bold While two hearts dance beneath a cloudless sky With soft gentle hands, in a "whimsy" he did mold Two young bodies close in his last good-bye In my "imagination, I can feel And "dream" in "reverie" of our lost youth Now at times, I cry about the raw deal The fervent winds of passion gone, in truth In aged eyes though not in "hallucination" A steady warmth still flows from each sweet soul Not from youth's passion nor middle-age station Lows have made our life's love completely whole At times "visualization" brings back youth When fantasy and "dream" sometimes hid truth
