 Sex Now

 

Understand

Please

Speaking for only myself

Sex now different as …

Me nearing eighty

She nearing Seventy

 

Now thought of

In different terms

Sex thought of now…

Though passion still there

Sex thought of now

More so as an act of love

Sex thought of now

Less than  that of ultimate 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…

Understand

please

Speaking for only myself

These loving times of…

 

These loving times of

Personal quiet intimacy

Of nude body to nude body

Of chest to breast

Of mouth to mouth

These loving times

Of interludes

With barely heard

Whispered words of love

Though most probably

Most usually

Concluded without sexual  gratification…

Understand

Please

Speaking for only myself

Though different

Love now

Sex now

As sweet as those younger days

Still sweet with a different kind of sensuousness that only comes with great experience. Just like when I read it first back in 2012 when you wrote it and posted it then.

In our senior years,
on sex we still plan.
Sometimes it's hard,
Sometimes it's not,
But I'm still a dirty old man.

Good that you still can, personally, I don't which is to say after some surgery and many different kinds of pills, I can't...so get one in for me if you will, thanks...-e- (just don't tell her I said that, LOL)
