Once fair hair

now tied back grey frames

soft skin finely laid

oer sculptured marble form

opaque grace lit by more than a smile

here's beauty profound.

Comes a nod, unsure agreement as demur eyes glance

quickly, yet perhaps inviting more

a nervous suggestion sees drinks at the bar

comfortably seated we beam like politicians

bubbling with uncertain laughter

then time brings us closer

confirming the bond

happy musical memory

for two minds
