Belly Shirt of Age

Progressively pending the day
The day, when his memory fades
The day when that old belly shirt shreds
As poetic minds cannot

Within the moan rhythmically intellect stands
He says farewell with self importance 
I say hello verse you end with expressions
To poetry a belly shirt never shreds
Within the shame of adolescence

Nor does a elegance of a aged love
With the heart of an adolescent becoming a lady
He stands with me eternally.
