Age Doesn'T Matter When You'Re In Love

My Autumn Love

How many ages past as I recall
An image of my brawny self to quell
The ominous fear of growing old soon
What, pray, intervenes to recast that spell
Voluminous love of feeling and touch
Render to me your young body with lust
Crushing embraces and wet kisses on
your soft copper skin, your oily shine
Give impetus to move my flaccid hands
Across your bare exterior to soothe 
and utter sweet expletives in your ear
My sixty plus years have not bound our souls
Just a brief sojourn to the climax of love
