Love Poem: Lovely Meeting

Lovely Meeting

A man getting on in years 
meets a sweet young woman 
They chat and at the end of the conversation 
He offers here his business card
"Sweet" she says 
The age difference may prevent 
this spark of love 
from turning into a fiery romance 
Still it was nice
At 60 a 25 year old woman 
may be out of reach for a man
The time we have is brief 
When two souls meet 
the years melt away temporarily 
We are on a carousel 
One should reach for the brass ring 
While there is still time 
Passion is not just for youth 
They say that time wears away even mountains
But time is only an enemy if you let it be one
Heats can transcend the barrier of time
Eyes still glow 
even as the clock heads toward
its final destination!
