TIME FLIES BY

 

Evening gowns, oh to be seen at fashion show,

sensuous sophistication, pearl white teeth glow,

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, profoundly romantic

dancing, harmony fabulous, both ecstatic.

 

Elegant pair, pirouette across the floor

glide with rhythm, while all watch in awe,

clasped together her sylph steps enhance

perfect symmetry, sensual beauty by dance.

 

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

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

recluses, deprived of passionate past

dream of a healthy life, long may it last.
