What’s a Man to Do?
I’ve spent a lifetime
Learning of love
The various levels
A heart can speak of
Yes, more than once
Love had me in its grips
And not always a kiss
Upon favored lips
Once married, once divorced
Three years wasted
But Lessons learned
And love briefly tasted
Now entering my elder years
Finding love a daunting task
Maybe I’ll find a way
To wear a young man’s mask
And all too often
Desire has me under arrest
Lips that need to be kissed
Curves that beg to be caressed
But bar rooms not my style
My quest, a woman of class
Not necessarily of money
But of respect she has amassed
Any woman my age is either
Married or boyfriend in hand
Or hundreds of miles away
Even on foreign land
So what’s a man to do
Without a woman by his side
For a woman makes a man complete
Bringing out his best that hides
