She Was His

She was his. It was late fall of sixty-nine
            and ‘with a little help from my friends’
                   we danced as one to the lure 
                        of Joe Cocker’s voice.
                                I held her 
                                   close
                                 relishing
                    her warmth and fragrance.
                    She melted in my embrace
                     savouring a final memory.
          She was his. It was late fall of sixty-nine.
