Oxford Memories.
*
*
She escapes a gaggle of trouser peacocks
Paying court with mirror practiced charms
Crosses Cherwell’s honeyed bridge
A Venus to grace the slow days of summer
Careless hair made for wind blow
Cheeks fashioned for candlelight
Eyes born for helpless surrender
Embrace
I sheltered in her shadow.

Simply beautiful. Memories of youth haunt the psyche like the dreaming spires.
