Another Time

_______________________________

The fragrance of an orchid

Wafting through the air,

Reminds me of another time,

And of a beauty rare.

The melodic strains of an orchestra

Sailing through the night,

Remind me of another time,

And of a lovely sight.

Associations such as these

Fill my thoughts with rhyme

And I can't help but long for

The poetry of another time.

A time when life made sense to me,

When love was everywhere;

When you and I would dance and dance

While your fragrance filled the air.

Such memories consume me,

And they constantly remind;

That you, my sweet, are in my heart

And forever on my mind.
