Memories of my first love 50 years on!
delivered on the incoming tide
of last night's dream
💔
resurfacing along with the flotsom and jetsom
of my unfulfilled existence
recollections of my first love
previously lost in an ocean of memories
stirred up by a swirling sea of emotions
buried in the deepest abyss of my heart
💔
her features, her surpassing beauty
unchanged by the ravages of time
my own appearance battered and eroded
by the incoming tide of advancing years
a distorted mirror image
on my former younger self
💔
all those many years ago
sadly, it was never meant to be
I was soon to realise that our paths
were driven by opposing currents
my hopes for our future together
swept overboard and sunk
💔
when I next dream
I will consign her memory
back to the deep from wence it came
for all eternity.
