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 loves 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.

Beautiful my friend - pretty sure I remember this one but with the way my memory works anymore - I remember more about tomorrow than I do yesterday!

True, passionate is exciting and so is this wonderful poem, Ida. I have outlasted my wife, she died in 2009. Time grows weary without her.

Thanks guys. I'm not very good at romantic poetry so I'm rather proud that I was able to produce at least one.
