FADED

Michael Edwards

 

 

FADED

 

I’m still a man and how I miss

the joy once shared in tight embrace

the warmth of loves first tender kiss.

 

Recalling how love used to be

oh how I yearn just one more time

to spend a night in ecstasy.

 

Once more our love I try to share

as once we did when we were young

the spark she knew no longer there.

    A fine write and sketch. in me dafter moments, I'm known to swoon at anything remotely 'hot' or passionate! heehee. This might bring on a swoon! But seriously, I know what you mean.

    Thanks for sharing MICHAEL ~ I notice that with some older folk ~ The spark has died. Love the VISUAL ~ the message it sends to me is: "Why don't we HORSE AROUND anymore ?" BRIAN

    Longing soaks through every line in this look backward to more loving times - - such a compelling read Michael .
