Days of Wine and Roses

In twilight's glow, we danced, carefree,
Vines entwined like destiny.
Roses blushed in evening's grace,
Wine kissed lips, a sweet embrace.

Stars above, our silent guides,
Through fleeting days, where love abides.
In laughter's light, we found our way,
Where roses bloom, and hearts may stray.

Yet time, it turns, with silent throes,
Leaves fall, where once the rosebud grows.
Still, in dreams, those days remain,
Wine and roses, love's refrain.
