A first dreamy date, basked in the
warmth of sunshine romance,
comes alive with the glint of scented vanilla,
that wafts with the fragrant scarlet red asters.
Drenched in crimson tides of passion
timeless whispers pen love sonnets
heart-warming gestures, moor their soul
like wine, their bond matures with age.
Today the old radio plays a nostalgic song,
silver strands define the receding hairline,
toothless smiles brighten the twilight years
wrinkled hands tether to old pictures,
visit the boulevard of sepia toned memories.
Joyful reminiscence of the bygone seasons
unwinds a spool of snapshots
scripting their saga of eternal love.

This is lovely, Radhika! I really like the way the colour references fade from scarlet and crimson to grey and sepia, and those last two lines are superb. Well-penned 🙂

Lovely, warm poem, Radhika! Sadly, many couples don’t spend their entire lives together, but I think that is still the ideal. We celebrated my grandparents’ fiftieth anniversary with them quite a few years ago. ❤ Stay well and be happy!

Thank you Cheryl. Yes, today it’s rare to see couples in this kind of everlasting togetherness. But I have a few couples in my family who have celebrated close to 6-7 decades of happiness together. This one is a tribute to such couples all across ❤️
