Recalling

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Recalling.

 

I daren't stop recalling

the way we were.

 

We lifted the tightness  

of age-convention

and fled to the informal.

 

We laughed at

life's blatant nod toward  

autumnal romance, 

we set all restraint loose 

and as more care

opened doors for taking

life's offered pleasure  

of love's new sensations

we stirred up bated

passion by gentle yield.

 

Time's passing has made

satin from cotton 

placidly satisfied weaving

now pallid and gone

that ready fever of fullest

acceptance will

not be ever forgotten for

I daren't start to

recall what we once were

without teardrops 

reviving every height 

we discovered.

 

His love won mine

in those silver-gilt years.

    Love in any season has its shining moment and with it its unique brilliance and timbre. These qualities make these uniquely wonderful and to be able to share that with someone enriches and deepens nuanced love that moves through the ages of human life. Thank you for sharing this wonderful poem.

      'we
      of midyears
      met
      new sensations
      and loved
      stirring up bated passion
      by gentle yield.

      Time's passing
      has made satin
      from drab
      long-worn creased cotton
      and now gone
      that ready fever of fullest
      acceptance
      will, be never forgotten'..
      (this, dear Fay
      is your Poetry
      at its worded excellence
      Best)
      thank you!!!
      'a joy to read
      an honour, to call upon
      my own feelings, forth
      from within
      its imbued: emotive passion'
      Brilliant!
      as-Ever
