Nostalgia
Oh for a yesterday
when moments of lavishly ripe
excitement flew
late sails of intention to make
rainbowed horizons.
Where rich and expectant life
cast new-told signs,
when readiness held matches
to smouldering fires.
Oh for that yesterday
when racing, desire sped from
tight-fixed moorings,
left tracks of habit and entered
receptive conclusions.
Two stars plied without fanfare
solicitous dishes,
filled with delicious prospective
of the unmissable.
Oh for a taste
of sated aliveness where covert
changed the forbidden
into excitement gilding passion
for yesterday-thrills.
When love lustily climbed aboard
for one more chance
of unexplored rapture we created
nostalgia to last.
