Old Age

I’ve waited I guess a lifetime before permitting you to take control yes waiting in anticipation while you readily touch me whole, yet still the mind one’s haven in which life’s opulent chase to bathe between the pierce of your dagger that now stabs me every single day. © Harry J Horsman 2017

It aint nice is it? This is great, Harry, the emotional feel is completely delivered in a few lines. I love the way you worded this, and how the feel stabs as much as age does. Great job. We must try to grow onward rather than grow older. We must try. It happens way too fast. All the best ... CayCay

Some people get older; others grow older. Good write Harry.
