My Mind, Forever Young

In thin scripted lines of written poetry
there is a yearning for times long past;
when hearts of men were there to see,
when love was but the question asked.

Not the caressing of persons shared
but more of when the minds are paired,
when tongues drip words of sweet desire
sharing a lover's speech in honeyed mire.

To have one gaze longingly into my soul
and find it timeless in its whole,
looking past aged wrinkles and fine lines
one treasures, forever young, my mind.

With the mind, love might forever cease
when thoughts turn ugly, love's decreased;
but when fertile thoughts of love unwinds
one treasures, forever young, my mind.

Memories never fade, but softly linger,
held in one's stroke, sweet grasp of finger
never wintry or arthritic in its touch
forever young, my mind holds much.

Amazing, what thoughts can render
when shared with others forever young,
cryptic messages to love's sender,
memories of loves' sweetness thus be sung.

Nay, I'll not stop this aging process
of widening hips and flattening chest
nay, I'll hold poems close to my breast
forever young, my mind is best.

Can I rent a small space in your mind? so whenever I want to feel young, I can come and rest for a while?

WONDERFUL POETRY
