[Those were days to be remembered.]

When the stars painted in my eyes were but a hollow gold and the feel of a skeletal hand to slender visage was :china/brittle

off-white and antique

and beautiful.

A single Lily, in the hair, an orchid on the wrist
[one for good luck, I suppose]

.Gaudy;beautiful

Rainy nights walked without an umbrella
We were brave souls, not fancy]

Crystal chariots
Came bearing Dahlias

You always smelled the sweetest
But your smell, [your shine] has faded now
Not quite so glitzy/trendy/beautiful

Only paled with age
Seemlingly just a frangrent
Promises of heady aromas
-euphoria through senses hieghtened]

Age has played fair with you, my dear
But have you played fair with life?

'Rainy nights walked without an umbrella' I love the 'off-white and antique' feel & imagery...like a snap-shot 'paled with age'. Well done.

Deep and beautiful. Doesn't always get better with age? I liked the ending, it was thought provoking. ^_^
