Unwasted Youth

  1. It’s easy to give in to old age,
  2. To imagine love is nothing more,
  3. Than our hormones in a rage,
  4. Sitting quietly waiting for food
  5. While youth lays wasted on the grass
  6. Thinking of a change in mood
  7. Wishing replenishment, to be fast.
  8.  
  9. How easy it would be to kiss
  10. Them on their skulking lips,
  11. Ravishing their mouths and tongues
  12. With words of love and bliss
  13. Concealed in age-ed hymns and keens
  14. Soaring from our still bounded souls
  15. Instead of from our unzipped genes.
  16.  
  17. It’s easy to watch them now,
  18. For their need of us is unknown,
  19. It’s easy for them to ignore,
  20. The delights we all have grown
  21. In the daylight of our lives,
  22. For youth is like the shining sun,
  23. It falls and fails on everyone.
