Oh, The Memory

The sound

Of his laughter

Raucous, uninhibited

Underlying ardour

Hinting at

Fun, adventure

And promised

Sensual pleasure

Captivated I moved

Into his sphere 

He beckoned me close

Intentions clear

Enveloped in his aura

I took his hand

Willingly followed

Subsequent commands

Our souls met

Temporarily

Decades have passed

But, oh, the memory
