Sentimentalism

Crooning the corny old melodies
Blue Velvet and Stranger in Paradise
on the radio
Tony Bennett
Brings me to tears.

What is this swell of emotion?
 Waves on the ocean of my soul.
Surging
without warning the hot tears fall.

Maybe just nostalgia for simple feeling
Cliche, and simple tune
conjuring a youthful June

When lovers had no fears.
