Starless Corners...

T'was on a dark and sultry night

I happened on a starless corner,

and never did I see a sight

more amorous, by an ardent suitor.

When I of so substantial years

recalled a likewise bawdy scene,

half a century before

down 'Littlemoor' amongst the green.

He, of youthful years and strong

and she a maiden sweet and true,

he promised her his lifelong years

she gave herself, love did ensue.

I paused, but for a second glance

thought I may learn some new technique,

but realised that age-old way

the only way to loves mystique.

But silver hair dulls many senses

and creaking bones don't help at all,

my specs were in my other pocket

which told me I was in my 'fall'.

Now on my own in sheltered dwelling

with sepia evidence all around,

I sit remembering starless corners

when she accepted my wedding band......2pp
