Love for all Ages

Anthony “Tappy” Paull

As we grow old do we lose the chance

To indulge with our partner in romance

 

Do we lose the feel for our lovers touch

That which we use to crave soo much

 

Are we embarrassed at what others might think

If from this cup we chose to drink

 

Do we forget the joy of skin touching skin

Must the light stay off or you can’t begin

 

Do the throngs of passion ebb and fade

Which each and every passing decade

 

No I can’t believe this could be true

My heart still  feels this love for you

 

We may not be as taught and trim

And our features change and start to thin

 

But the lines of your face still are the same

Your smile your voice the sound of your name

 

We may not seek a sandy beach

or sneaky closet in which to meet

 

The foley of youth these things be

With age privacy and comfort is the key

 

We may not intertwine for hours

Or share together naked showers

 

But the warmth of your touch still lingers

As I sensually touch you with my fingers

 

And the comfort of your sweet caress

I still crave now never less

 

So when we are alone in bed

With thoughts of romance in our heads

 

Be sure to reach out and take the time

To be initmate with your special other it will be fine.

  • Comment from author about the poem: I am 63 and have an 18 year age gap with my partner. Our love life is fine but we have had to work on it and communicate openly. There is a favourite Eagles song of mine “You never cry like a lover” and the most memorable line for me is “any king of love without passion, ain’t no kind of loving at all”. So I wrote this to remind us all as we grow old not to lose this.
