An earlier writing of mine, taken from an archived post from my
this time..
Whilst they gather by the fire
beneath the crystal chandelier
smoke slips through and around them
Gramophone tunes ring dear
Floral wallpaper defines the room
champagne toasts given
Recalling past festive holidays
Recalling past festive holidays
when stardust fell from heaven
Where once waved a Parisian blue
scarf against her cheek
driving the winding road for a sea view
now a violet net shawl and chartreuse parakeet
On the mantel a padlocked gold box
where intriguing tales are kept
Scents of rain and burnt desire
No more anguish from within
...yet missing him
A man's corduroy hat hangs on an umbrella stand
the woolen black cloak in which she wept
Winds augur the season with a rasp
Sweet joys not sorrows
bring smiles to her Titian red lips at last
Hazel eyes play in the light of the room
She arises becominglyNo more anguish from within
...yet missing him
With a flair of bravura she waltzes freely
.... audaciously
