Wistful

Something I posted to my Limerick group five years ago. It is not a Limerick, but I like it.  I call it Wisteria


Wisteria blossoms covered the bower

Where you and I would spend an hour

Or two on a lazy summer afternoon


We’d talk about Elvis and outer space

How much we longed to leave that place

How graduation couldn’t come too soon


Too many years it seems have passed

They just rolled by us much too fast

And I wish I could return to that place


I wonder if you remember when

We spent those hours together then

In our fumbling, innocent state of grace


The purple blossoms falling down

Cover the bench, they cover the ground

And oh, how I long to see your face
