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 blessed.

Sunshine..
My wish for you is that you stay
"forever young"

"May your hands always be busy,
May your feet always be swift,
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift.
May your heart always be joyful,
May your song always be sung,
May you stay forever young..."

Bob Dylan, exert from "Forever Young"

Come read to me some poem,
Some simple and heartfelt lay,
That shall soothe this restless feeling
And banish the thoughts of day.

I agree with Ford...
Dylan's music and line popped into my head as soon
as I saw your name Karilea...Forever Young...
some people never age because their inner child is never far from the surface..
you are one of these fortunate people..
Please don't ever change.
Love ya lady~

My big sis once said "That's a mirror for you, twenty looking in, forty looking out!"

I wonder if she says something about the same, now that she's sixty......? Yep, she does!
