Take it as you will...
Memories
Dimly lit horizon fading as the light
Slowly sweetly slips into night
Softly swings are creaking without play
All have gone at the end of day
Gentle play and playful fun
For young love before the day is done
Far away weeps some poor soul
Soon there is silence, a deafening lull
Waiting am I for your soft steps
Your love in my heart I’ve ever kept
A gentle breeze caresses faces
Carrying scents from far away places
Faintly for a moment you were here
Your presence a memory I hold so dear
But now the adolescents play loudly
Out of my mind sweet memories are crowded
Even then always your image remains
My Heart your sweetness ever retains
Now again someone slowly approaches
Down upon my light their shadow encroaches
But soon follows the dialect of close friends
That sort of conversation that never ends
When all is considered ‘tis beautiful
A moment in eternity never so full
I should be thankful for it all
It is just so hard not to fall
Back to the sadness of missing you
Depressed to madness is almost true
I could not bear when you were taken from me
So you will always live in memory
There your essence forever I’ll hold
There the end of our story is never told
