I Liked Her Hair Long
I liked her hair long
my bronze pennant in a slight breeze,
smiling face framed in the soft light
dappled skin through broken trees,
timeless smile hinted laughter
hidden under locks both coy and bold
as we smiled at our time together
secured now young and soon as old,
grasping hands
grasping eye
grasping at remembered moments...
as time just flies on by,
dreams last long as sunbeams
as a cloud moves to overtake
winter pallor'd dropping leaves
we took as much time as we could rake,
sitting next to winter's hearth
hands clasped in a familiar tether
we welcome season's end
life lived well and loved together.
