Precious Memory

"recently scenes of early life have stolen in my mind, like breezes blown"
" Samual Taylor Coleridge "


Memories come and go of her
appear in my mind to allure
deep in my soul, they're still pure
a captive moment in time

her first glance had imprisoned me
and let my heart's fervor be free
with eyes of a lover to be
she was so beautiful

wondrous lovers before our end
when life turned a tide of pretend
our restless souls would not bend
to our different painted worlds

the price we paid was sadness
as parting became our madness
and stole the meaning of gladness
we came to understand

deep in my heart her face is froze
young, vibrant, the years never shows
her memory a long red rose
special, precious, lovers long ago
