CHANGED BY TIME You were handsome, in those days. Perhaps it was love's eyes I saw you with, It all becomes a confused phase. Not that you are not handsome now, In a very refined, distinguished, Silver grey and knowledgeable way. How your reading glasses Sit jauntily under your wiry eyebrows That have taken a life up of their own. And yes, I was prettier too. Not that I am not pretty now….(oh, how I laugh) But not in that mini-skirted, Only myself to please And I will wear thick orange lipstick if I want to Path that we followed when our twenties and thirties Were still waiting to launch themselves at us. That cosy little nest came first to distract us, And a cheery item called a ‘mortgage' was signed on the dotted line, And our future was sealed. Children further welded our feet into family orientated concrete And you and I ebbed away. Slowly but surely. Without noticing at first. Love's eyes still looked on But in a detached manner As a relationship, so true and beautiful, Melted gradually, Leaving a puddle of lost hopes and dreams. Sweet hearts Had given way to lethargy And fulfilment had lessened its grip, Leaving us stranded. Strangers. An abiding love Will always run deep. Memories we can occasionally pull out of a drawer. Memories we will share forever. Poetry Ad-Free Upgrades Vote for this poem |
