We grow to middle age
Watchers of rainstorms
Chasers of skirts
Shall I be the painting
Of a sorrow for you,
A lonely face without a heart?
Will the young girls despise me
Or lie awake nights?
Shall I write my age
On my trousers belt?
Or list for you
My loves in a notebook,
Like Dorian
Fair and changeless without?
While within, I pray,
No hater of winter...
No one the young girls
Would laugh about.
I love your rhetorical question makes the poem so sensual and a bit uncertain, your imageries are superb sir. This is beautiful.

This is beautiful.
It plays with uncertaintly but i sense no dread on it. Nor anxiety.
It's more like a whisper of melancholy. Like a wind of Autumn. Its beauty is delicate. Almost ephemeral. I love it.
It is an amazing piece, @johnjgeddes. Thank you for sharing.

Another beauty, John. A little melancholy, a bit wistful. Our love changes over the years...middle age brings more changes and often questions of the future.
