Age Doesn'T Matter When You'Re In Love

My Autumn Love

How many ages past as I recall
An image of my brawny self to quell
The ominous fear of growing old soon
What, pray, intervenes to recast that spell
Voluminous love of feeling and touch
Render to me your young body with lust
Crushing embraces and wet kisses on
your soft copper skin, your oily shine
Give impetus to move my flaccid hands
Across your bare exterior to soothe 
and utter sweet expletives in your ear
My sixty plus years have not bound our souls
Just a brief sojourn to the climax of love

Age doesn’t matter when you’re in love Contest

Richard Lamoureux December 19, 2017 at 2:51 PM Reminds me of the old guy who asks the trainer which machine would have the best chance of impressing the young voluptuous woman at the Gym. The Trainer suggested the ATM in the lobby. Ralph Sergi December 21, 2017 at 3:39 PM Hi Richard: i took a gamble on a senior's desire and lost but I'm still alive. (ha ha)

Richard Lamoureux December 19, 2017 at 2:48 PM Fortunately only your hands are flaccid. (Sorry, I couldn't resist!) You did a good job with this May December piece. Many men have attempted to regain their youth at this fountain.

Alexis Y. December 18, 2017 at 6:04 PM Hi Ralph , What a good take on the contest theme. Anyone that has a problem with "ones" age and the two in question are in love I say "Bah Humbug". Excellent job:-) Alexis

Rhoda Tripp December 16, 2017 at 8:40 AM There is nothing like young virility to shake off those feelings of mortality. Great write and I feel there is no age requirements on love. It just happens.

Patricia Cresswell December 7, 2017 at 11:47 AM You are right passion knows no boundaries of age. Time and the full enjoyment of each other no matter what activity takes place becomes most important.

Andrea Dietrich December 3, 2017 at 5:08 PM ooh la la. you did THIS theme so well. Now I gotta imagine my young adonis to one similar by a woman. haha!!! Ralph Sergi December 4, 2017 at 6:49 AM thank you, Andrea: Wishful thinking on my part

Susan Ashley December 2, 2017 at 8:39 PM Ralph, an intriguing and compelling write. You have beautifully and poetically expressed that love is ageless. Good luck in the contest.. Warmest regards Ralph Sergi December 3, 2017 at 7:46 AM Thank you Susan:

Jan Allison December 2, 2017 at 6:31 PM age may not matter but sadly a healthy bank balance is often the real attraction Ralph! Good luck in the contest:-) hugs Jan xx Ralph Sergi December 3, 2017 at 7:48 AM Thank you, Jan: Thank God, I passed the mid life crisis.

Arturo Michael December 2, 2017 at 5:56 PM I guess a healthy old man is better than a defective young gun...All the best Ralph
