Age not Withstanding
05/18/2022
Her tender years oblivious to lapse of time
Enraptured every sense of my being
Earth shifted, beneath my feet, agonizing,
Aye! Triple times the clock has struck midnight
Her youth
Her exuberance
Drew me back to days of ignorance
Power of reasoning momentarily dissipating
Drawn to maturity, she declared
Boys her age, do not equate
Like an empty chalice she hungered
For age and experience, as only source
I must confess it was not a matter of physicality
As any mirror shall bear witness
For maturity demands sensibility, age not withstanding
Her wit, beyond youth, where relationship must rest

I would be too weak to resist, as I solemnly accept your generosity
Maturity has its assets in life Suresh, fine words Suresh.

I'm still making mistakes and learning. Guess it will always be that way. Just hope I'm getting better.
