-Black Suede

Every now and then

you come strolling thru my mind.

Hauling back old memories

of the sweetest kind.



Of a wonderful chance meeting

on a crowded dance floor.

Just once in your arms

left me desiring more.



Your jacket was tweed

but you were wearing Black Suede.

Its scent coyly beckoned me

with each movement you made.



This first night of contact

lead to so many more.

Those days spent with you

I came to adore.



Come dance with me Joe

twirl me round and round.

Let's relive old memories

of a new love found.

Isn't that what perfume and cologne are for.....  reminders of someone?    Black Suede......I remember it well.

Aaaaah yes, memories of the sweetest kind! For you it's Black Suede, for me it's Cool Water. It's funny though, how the same scent worn by someone else just doesn't have quite the same effect, don't you think?
Anyway, this is yet another wonderful poem, keep up the great work:)

Your first stanza say's it all and really leads into the rest of the piece. I liked it very much.

Every now and then
you come strolling thru my mind.
Hauling back old memories
of the sweetest kind.

Simply Wonderful!
