Love Sees No Age

Love is love’s own heart appeal,
all that bears knowing is its feel.
Biographies lack love’s economies,
for only love knows love’s qualities
that set love’s bond congealed, ideal.

Dark, tall, blond, small, go ahead – order it all,
but beware of a list induced downfall.
Only an open, receptive attitude
will deliver love soulmate glued.
Love requirements can be a miscall.

He is the one, though he is years younger,
who sates and awakes all my hunger.
He touches my soul, my heart and brain
with genuine, unchained love gain.
Perfect is his calm, ideal his thunder.

My happy would have slipped through
if his age had been my only view.

Whoa, would I want to witness you ripping loose? Mmmm This was just contest aimed. I am 3 years older than Tim, but that doesn't prevent us from sharing conversation about the same decades we grew up in. Truth is, I'd rather he be the older, but I am so blessed I can't pick at that and he assures me it doesn't mean I have to be in charge. Phew. Love the Jannie ... CayCay

Hi CayCay, True love can't be put in a box. We should be free love and age shouldn't be a factor. Congratulations on your fine win. It was well deserved:-) Alexis

CayCay, love is true when you fall in love with the person and not their appearances or age. Congrats on your win. John

CayCay, I'm impressed you undertook rhyming for this theme, and pulled it off beautifully. Not only wonderful rhymes, but tone, rhythm, and especially message combine to make this worth reading over and over. Delightful job! Dave

You took the words right out of my mouth when you wrote, "My happy would have slipped through if his age had been my only view." Need to say no more...All the best CayCay
