Days Of Yore

Put on site in 2012. Now letting readers read it.

           "Days Of Yore"

Every time I see your face,

I am reminded of a time and place;

Back in days of so long ago...

Yesteryear...before I came to know.

A different place in time and space,

And shadowy memories to replace...

Any thought of the here and now...

A chivalrous time...of kneel and bow.

My mind drifts back to days of yore,

When gallent knights so gallantly bore,

Heavy suits of armor and mail;

And satin clad gentry attended balls.

Back to a time, that oaths were sworn;

Shields and armor, heavily borne.

Marriages arranged and dowrys brought,

Strangers together...forever caught.

You appear to me in bittersweet dreams;

Love and bliss...mid-evil things...

Cloaked inside of a deep grey haze;

Feelings of reality that stays and stays.

Were we lovers...back in time?

If so, why arent...you still mine?

If you were mine in yesteryear...

Why aren't...you with me here?
