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.

This is so well expressed MM.
I love the ending where it brings it all
home.

This is just so true and beautiful!

"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."

And this just ends it all so nicely,

"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."

I enjoyed the sentiments of this piece immensely!

true love never looks after it's own interests
