Love Affairs
I've had love affairs throughout my years
so many I can't count beyond the parting tears.
Not many in my youthful primal fears
but as I grew they did rise amidst my heart's cheers.
Not just chemistry or physical infatuation
they drifted in my dreams without hesitation;
each set my body afire in self cremation.
Double 007, my James Bond dreamers
drew out my breath in blinding steamers
where I hardly paused for slow heart beaters.
In reality, I blush, the truth be said
only one lover was ever taken to my bed
and in the arms of the intense embrace
I won the love afffair's best race.
Should now I catch the mirrors reflection
the face I see upon inspection
is yours standing next to me
the continued love affair at seventy three.
