Love's Wanderer

LOVE’S WANDERER

                              From birth to death
                              He walks the journey to its end
                              Seeking reasons
                              Why the heart must love
                              Body fall to death’s cold destruction.  

                              As a child he had no fears
                              Never considering the journey’s end     
                              Thinking himself immortal
                              Running free chasing the wind
                              Learning to become a man. 

                              Finding ecstasy of sex
                              No longer innocent  
                              Addicted to orgasmic pleasure
                              With lover after lover
                              Memories thrilling the mind.

                              In old age he travels on
                              Frail, stepping ever slower
                              Mind clear as crystal 
                              Alone, full of remorse
                              For bad choices made.

                              Love, he knows now
                              Has to be free as the wind
                              And from his many lovers
                              Only one still delights the heart
                              Making him weep for yesterday.
