A reflection on getting older. Age need not wither us these days though...with modern technology our posthumous sperm can gop on procreating long after we have suffled off this mortal coil.


Having spent so many youthful years frustrated,

wasting days as immaturity betrayed my desires

and thoughts outnumbered opportunities.

I contemplate the irony of life as now

a fullness of wisdom and experience

guides me unfailingly towards the goal once

ardently pursued but I find desire fades

and mocking thoughts outnumber performances

She Intrigues Me, Revelations Of Love by Jon Willey

If you tend to believe romantic, passionate, masculine poetry is a thing of past eras, read "She Intrigues Me," and be swept away in the beautiful craft of a contemporary poet of love.
