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.
