An Ageless Love

I can’t chew

My teeth are few

My grinders are damaged

My gums are ravaged

But I remember your kisses

Mostly on our terraces

Where you held me close

And our passion rose

My heart thundered

As your hands wandered

My breath came in gasps

As my name, you rasped

Your mouth descended

As mine ascended

Our tongues played

As our bodies swayed

Our arms wound

Our senses unsound

As our love took over

And moments were savoured

Would you consider me old?

Or young and bold?

Romantic or practical?

Passionate or clinical?

Whatever you may think

Remember we are linked

For better or for worse

Until our journey in a hearse

We would be together

Breathing ever after
