I slowly close my tired eyes,
and row down the misty river
of old memories.
Quietly I take in those sweet
moments of a time long past,
and revel in the serene beauty
of them all.
Blazing pictures of the old times
good and bad break upon the still
waters of my sleepy thoughts like fish
leaping in the twilight of my mind.
Heated passions are re stirred as the
memories of my old flames surface
upon the swirling waters of my mind.
A velvety veil of soft glorious desire
is awakened within the deepest recesses
of my heart as I quietly recall it all.
The passion and sensuality of my loves
and life comes to its end as my lovely
lady awakens me with her soft kisses
and warm caresses upon my cheek bringing
me back to the reality of my true love's
sweet everlasting presence.
