Today

Gazing at the portrait,time's silent gauge,
I recalled a memory from long ago.
Your youthful beauty set my heart ablaze
With figure divine and face aglow .

In days of old,you held me in your thrall
Your charm a force I could not resist.
Now as I stand before this faded wall,
I'm reminded of the joy your presence kissed.

Though years have passed the image so clear,
Of how you once captivated me,my dear.
Your gorgeous form,a sight beyond compare,
And charming visage that made my heart adhere 

This portrait speaks of time's relentless march,
Yet in my mind,your youth remains unmarred .

Hello! I watch my daughter grow from a baby to motherhood. I saw my parents age. Now, it's my turn. As Vitaj says the reality is change. I still love the love of my life more deeply than ever and he is no longer 27. But my love for him has deep roots. I liked the honesty in your poem Panagiota

The reality of life...time, age and change, a process which we cannot halt. At least we can rely on what lies whitin! Regards // paul
