The moment now as was the case
Of many past today I pace
Myself again in breath drawn in
The scent that still dwells deep within
Of you, of love, of happiness
Of things but once no more now less
Yet absence feeds on things so pure
That brings a smile to frown endured
A heart that skips with melody
Of several songs once sung for me
These things written and spoken of
Of romance had painted with love
A chance to hear you say my name
A cause to dream but not the same
If just a moment bliss was here
To fill empty of you endeared
Know this that truth if ever told
Would spell sincere that has a hold
Of things that hands let slip through fingers
This thought just one of several lingers
There is place, a space that all but you
Keeps warm embrace still held unto
As if you're here to hold still to
If just awhile this also too
I know the walks of yesterday
Still whisper soft of what would play
Out to be what had to be
Loved no less eternally
I'll keep whats mine no one can take
Of you that life like slice of cake
Savored as morsel sweet as wine
As aged becomes my frame of mind
