Jack Ellison Poet Quatrain

Life's Ultimate Secret Potion

Wonder at what age we lose the ability
To feel the joy of sweet passion
That feeling of longing for intimacy we get
The touch, the words, the spasms

Involuntary writhing, the desire for touch
It's not showing signs for sure
Of lessening even the smallest wee bit
You young'uns can rest assured

Sweet love remains till your final days
Till all that's left is sweet memories
No matter how vibrant, those moments were
All that remains is your reverie

The gift of sweet love is a lifelong affair
Unequaled by other emotions
It's the only real reason we live and breath
It's life's ultimate secret potion

Carol Eastman January 3, 2014 at 11:01 AM Dragon understands completely. One of his greatest joys is eating everything smothered in barbecue sauce... And cuddling in his SOFT, invisible, blinged out, pink blanky. He says his barbecue sauce is his ultimate secret potion... He is only two after all! And his greatest pleasure is cuddling in his blanky. Carol Eastman January 3, 2014 at 4:04 PM Trust me!... You really want to keep me PG Rated... LOL Jack Ellison January 3, 2014 at 3:58 PM Barbecue sauce is not exactly what I was referring to... uh... never mind! LOL xoxox
