TIME FLIES BY

 

                                     TIME FLIES BY

 

Evening gowns, oh to be seen at fashion show,

sensuous sophistication, pearl white teeth aglow,

escorts, black dinner suits, eyes flash to 'n fro,

champagne, cocktails, abundant, overflow.

 

Sleek low-cut designs accentuate cleavage,

proud, walk tall, emotions symbolic of age,

desire in the air, prolifically romantic

dancing, a joyous night, sensory ecstatic.

 

Elegant pair, pirouette across the floor

glide with rhythm, while all watch in awe,

her sylph steps, as one, together enhance

perfect symmetry, sensual beauty by dance.

 

Today, his hair grey, her locks depict a rainbow,

fantasies, allure, but no more wild oats to sow,

recluses, deprived of passionate past

dream of a healthy life, long may it last.
