Love Or Lust

LOVE or LUST

A much older woman 
is at an age
Where love she is sure
is locked in a cage

A younger man talks to her
Almost every day
He makes her laugh and
 Giggle and forget about the grey

Banter becomes racy
between the two,
Arousal being one
Wow this was new

Years of working hard
To dismiss this feeling
And now here it is,
So appealing

He’s tearing back the layers
Leaving piles of dust
Are these rousing feelings
Love or just Lust

Neither love nor pheromones are restricted. One of my neighbours is in her mid-90s, but her husband just turned 62 .......

It is innocence, unveiled!
