IImbricated clouds cloaks blasted sunset <br />Brings memories of yesteryears <br />Glorious past flashes back on set <br />Gives my first vision, tears <br />Kids me, mum’s caring <br />A sharp man, dad’s tutoring <br />‘Til college parent’s whoring <br />Wizard I become you bet <br /> <br />I’d like to see memoirs of my happy but failed marriage, <br />I’d like to be in a green park pushing my kid’s carriage, <br />Plangent shout, laughter I’d like to hear, <br />I’d like to watch dad and mum loving feeling dear, <br />I’d like to see my friends dancing drinking beer’ <br />I’d like to see my wife’s pinchbeck smiling face, <br />In her wedding gown in lace <br /> <br />And when the juju sunset comes, <br />The eccentric afterglow welcomes <br />These fondly reveries in life is all done <br />Cannot be redux nor undone<br /><br />Noel Horlanda<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/afterglow-18/
