Reminiscence

I was riding on my horse's back

galloping proudly

for all it was worth

Then I caught a sight

of a man whom I met

on a sleepless night

of an enduring embrace

The stranger asked me

 for a sheltering site

So I provided his requests

with a charming smile

Then he asked for more

and I gave it for love

and made me climb down 

my horse's proud height

But he was gone

without a trace of sight

Leaving me completely 

with a broken heart

I asked myself

How I could make it right

but no reply could

amend my tethered heart

So here it is

a flash of my youth

Of a romance not simply 

an entertaining story

but a real experience

of joy and pleasure

and at the same time 

my painful memory
