Love Through Middle- Age

When evening red surrounds our dream A varnished crown glosses the breeze; To summon love's ascent, upstream On river's bend as moist lips tease. A varnished crown glosses the breeze Here, stars wiggle in blazed delight; On river's bend as moist lips tease When embers of dusk flames the night. Here, stars wiggle in blazed delight, Through middle- age, we find pleasure When embers of dusk flame the night-- As tide cradles this love, it's lure. Through middle- age, we find pleasure From gentle floats of a damp kiss As tide cradles this love, it's lure-- While years ripple in fiery bliss.

I liked the title but all the teasing; I might be just a little too old.
