Motivated
Lately urges have been
Borderline strange-
I can feel life flowing through
My veins again…
A smile to self when
I hear her name-
And I have yet to know the
Sensation of your touch, yet to
Hold you after a night of sultry
Lovemaking, yet to know the abyss
That precedes your kiss…
I’m too old for you to be making me feel like this-
I will slay Goliath,
And climb the highest mountain-
I will travel back in antiquity
To conquer empires and rediscover youth’s
Secret fountain…
From stone I will retrieve
Excalibur’s sword to avenge invaders
With a Gladiators’ might,
But with the grace of
A Matador’s fight-
All of this I will do…
And yet I long to know the
Gentleness of your touch,
Or the silent sound that love makes
By candle light,
Or the magic that awaits patiently
In your kiss…
I’m too old for you to be making me feel like this-
