We strolled those naive shores of youth
A twenty toes dip in ponds of love and fortitude
While our bodies firm in sweat and scented wet
We were blind to the eventual castings of regress
Everything’s gone foggy soggy or lost
The only wet left is tears of fallen frost
Ancient searing mist beats us down
With times watch, her fist, then her crown
Our wanting kept us in search
Where maturity turns a softer blue
The color of our never dying thirst
A place in life for me and you
Once higher than seductive skies
We soared above self-inflicting lies
Till clouds hit mountains and attacked
Settling into the fog of our cataracts
Wrinkling eyes curl up in old lashes
Silver stashes hid in Gretchen grey
A country song gone oh so wrong
A most beautiful youth betrayed
Sinking from those skies above
Young ones caught our song
Thus began their trip through love
Twenty toes dipped in a pond
Glory to all those who shall cum
This most innocent mate of our fate
And long before we must succumb
Wrinkles began to raid our face
Yet we will not trade, oh no!
Not young water for old snow
Nor cooing ponds for yellow toes
But for one more young kiss who knows
A trace of love’s youngest daughter
The scent in air when sex we slaughtered
Nor these memories stranded in cataract eyes
Maybe it’s was dust or maybe eyes just lie
But:
We were young
Then we were old
We were lucky
And oh so bold
We were silver
We were gold
As love got stuck
Between our bones
“I love you sweet cheeks”
Your memories never age
