Aging Ladys Longing

Could love drift kindly into this fall
As gentle nearing winter’s drifting;
I gaze at your misty muddy workman’s face
Searching, wanting, searching.

Could love fall upon rushing age,
Is there possibility for me
Dare I wish, dare I wish,
Or must intelligence win its way?

Oh, no, I have longed for your timid caress,
Though hope of such is near crying,
May I dream of your wrinkled cherished smile,
Before dying, dying.

Of course! Ageing doesn't affect how the heart feels, I spoke to someone a while back who is 83, with skin cancer, who says she still feels 16! Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

I love the classic Renaissance style you used here, it reads like Coleridge, or Lord Byron-

Hi! I just heard that even in aging, love and sex are more than possible. Partly, it lies within us to get it. Our society is so youth oriented, we wonder. Can it happen to me? Well penned for sure...Panagiota xx

I'm with Sandy below. It is never too late for love my friend. Age means nothing as long as your heart is still beating. This poem made me sad when i red it but the truth makes me smile...there is love waiting out there for everyone who wants it. They just have to allow themselves to accept it when it comes. Wonderfully written my friend.
