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.

creating nostalgia to last is precisely what you have achieved here today ..
not only that but you have hit on that certain something that only those of us who have been around for a while can recognise and appreciate fully ...
I hasten to add that regardless of age, one can be nostalgic .. but then everything is relative and I know precisely what I mean ......
simply splendid in your characteristic & unique style Fay... x
Oh yes, I'd greedily accept a generous serving of that. Open up the picnic basket of meadow fresh adventure and let me savour the crisp bubbles, of champagne freshness tickling where fanciful desire might find......
........ once more, nay twice... oh careless wonder...... live again!
Good write Fay.
