Love Poem

A Flood of Memories

Author: Joyce Hemsley

Romantic nights of song and dance
still live within my heart,
and when I recall our ecstasy
a flood of memories start.

In love, we waltzed beneath the moon,
how foolish, I can't deny.
But hand in hand and cheek to cheek
we left the world behind.

Such joy will never come again
for we are young no more,
Though in my dreams I clearly see
the way we were before.

The places where we used to go
have crumbled now with time,
gone has the old seat by the mill
and church bells never chime.

Our love goes back a long long way
maturing with the years like wine -
and hand in hand and side by side
we still leave the world behind.
