Lim'Rik Flats Poet Verse

Aged To Perfection

Now I lay me down to sleep
in the arms of a woman who lets me keep
the legend of me, in my mind.

My old woman is terribly kind.


Now I lay me down to sleep
in the arms of a man who lets me keep
my girlish reflection — his eyes a mirror. 

My old man could not be dearer.

Alexis Y. July 20, 2017 at 9:10 AM Hi John, You had me at the title alone. But I must say I agree with Daniel, this is "sweet". It shows two people that are in love:-) Alexis Lim'Rik Flats July 20, 2017 at 8:36 PM Thanks Alexis!
