Backwards then Forwards



Backwards then Forwards

The appreciation of beauty increases with age
Looking back there’s wonderment
The faces loved were appreciated and desired
But now I look back and, never realized

I study the faces and form in pictures reflecting the past
A feeling of happiness flashes and I’m flushed
I remember the lips and bits designed to emote
I wish that the past could return each week for a ‘nite

It’s a curious turn that surprises
Its pictures of Dorian Grey in personal reprises
But too I know now what happened and where they went
I’m sad about those lost and others I’ll never again touch

Beauty isn’t skin deep when nights are fondly remembered
Its eternity because time disappears, lit by passion’s embers
They’re all within my personal sanctum
The past haunts and kisses, the future releases
