Musical Memories Poem by AHO Speaks

Music with memories and a drink of wine
Tempting pleasure from another time.
Song after song the instruments do play
As they did it then and now; they truly make my day.

So meaningful is the sound as tho I could reach in and touch
A person long ago; whom I loved so very much.
My time then and now, not interrupted by voice
I can see and listen to the trumpet, presenting each note of choice.

How the sounds carry me along back into time
For that single moment when I was yours and you were mine.

I thank you Jackie Gleason for the compositions for they were swell
Wherever you are; know that I wish you well.
You took a young man into your room of sound
Forty years later and still I find myself spellbound.

I am sure your talent will never go to waste
For your music is like a good wine to always taste.
Nothing is so enchanting as to place on view
My memories and sounds and pictres, of me and you.

'Bolero' with its passionate movements and haunting sound
You also take me back to a time when I was spellbound.
For this memory I shall call L.C.
Thanks for the the music; and the years for kowing thee.
