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 Sponsored by Julie Leigh Rodeheaver November 3, 2017

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.

Hi Richard: i took a gamble on a senior's desire and lost but I'm still alive. (ha ha)

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.

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

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.

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.
