Once they were passionate lovers
with the world at their feet.
They dreamed it would last forever.
Life and love were sweet.

But with time the flame of love burned low,
a lingering spark they came to know,
that on occasion would burn higher
but never with that first love's fire.

Now, the lovers have grown old
and the burning flame of desire is cold
but not without the brilliant glow
that only seasoned love may know.

The old man's steps are slow but steady,
his trembling hands are ever ready
to tend his lady while he may
before she quietly slips away.

They share so many entwined emotions.
Memories, loyalty and devotion.
They've journeyed far since that first kiss
to learn what true love really is.

Thank you all for the lovely comments. I actually wrote this poem about a painting og an old man pushing and old lady down the halls of a hospital in a wheel chair. The painting is called "True Love" I was going to enter it in a contest by the local newspaper a few years ago. There was a thousand dollar prize but then I got busy and forgot about it. Oh well.
