“For thy sweet love remembered such wealth brings
That then I scorn to change my state with kings.”
– William Shakespeare –
Her flowing, chestnut hair...

Sweet Love Remembered
~by Duncan Cary Palmer~Subtly overcome,
the years and distance fall.
Inkling upon hint
compel "the big reveal."
Sluggish heart of me,
so quickened by her hand,
defibrillated, warmed, revived,
for but a paltry span.
Flowing chestnut hair,
grown out, in love, for me!
Now obscuring, now revealing
what I dare not see.
Oh, pallid Moon!
How could you fail us,
distant lovers to unite?
You've fled the scene,
to leave me naught but
fading mem'ries of delight.
