All Cats Are Gray |

Feet called hands, Walk slow around The path of numbered circles, Cease your hurried tread Rest long on numerals of night, When bells toll dozen in the hall And two lay naked on An ancient marriage bed. . Before the dawn, Nights pitch hides flaws in form From eyes of aging queen and knight. In dark the two remain Beneath the vex of passion, Breathing breaths of Gwenivere And Lancelot..still the thunder Shakes the vague old shadows, Thought repleat, but glowing In the rise of youthful heat. . In candle light is seen the smile of Eros, Whose knowing grin transcends the dark And dulls the aging ladies fright; Who hides all flesh with binds of cloth And paint, like ribboned letters wrapped To hide their reading from all eyes In broad daylight. . But his touch is young, her skin still sweet His muscles worn, but his heart still beats More rapid by the urge of passion.. "Fret not, my dear"...his words ring clear "You remain still beautiful to me, And in the dark I pray I'm still the lover that I used to be... . ("*in the dark all cats are gray") *quote-Ben Franklin |

In the dark if you look at your hands they are the color of smooth shadows of delicate black with touches of your own coloring. Mine our pale shades of cream intermingling with shades of black. Interesting. Good poem. Bon-Bon  |

a tender write, a loving passionate look at the inevitable aging process, one that doesn't need to stop the youthful flow of dreams, nor of passion's screams |

But his touch is young, her skin still sweet His muscles worn, but his heart still beats More rapid by the urge of passion.. "Fret not, my dear"...his words ring clear "You remain still beautiful to me, And in the dark I pray I'm still the lover that I used to be... ~*~ methinks, you are. |

And to all the above comments I add, a rose is a rose, and this is a rose of a poem.  |
