Sex Now

Speaking for only myself,

sex now different

as,

me near seventy-seven

she near sixty-seven.

Now thought of

in different terms.

Sex thought of now

more so as an act of love

than that of passion.

Speaking for only myself,

sex now thought in

terms of closely held,

personal quiet intimacy.

Sex now rarely concluded

as those long gone younger days.

In honesty,

more often than not,

concluded now

without sexual  gratification .

However,

speaking for only myself,

these loving times of…

These loving times of

personal quiet intimacy:

of nude body to body,

chest to breast,

mouth to mouth interludes

with barely heard

whispered words of love,

though most probably

concluded without sexual  gradification,

speaking for only myself,

sex now,

love now

as sweet as those younger days.
