a maddening sorrow prevails when all else fails
sorrow stirred can't be denied
it fills my inner chambers
flooding me with the feeling
of never was love, for him anyway
my soul cannot reconcile the emotion, with the hurt
my worry, it will not ever alleviate
a deep ache sends fear through me
my loneliness abounds
with men it seems you are worthy only as long as you look good
the brokenheart of the older woman
cast into emptiness
while faces full of sunshine smile to be the object of affection
my heart doesn't know how to stop loving
it cares not that he is aging
my love is unchanging
simple acts of caring is all I require
not spikes of derision for being fifty six
uttering you look nice tonight to him
to be carved with words
you don't look like when I met you
neither does he
but through eyes of love I still see him as beautiful

Chère C.,
As in:
I see small lines in your face.
They are beautiful.
I had to wait an awful long time for them.
And now they are Here, I won’t let you go…
And I would cup your face in my hands.
Yes, something like this, for sure.
Warm regards, Gus
hello dearest Gus what a lovely comment you are very sweet ❤️
Great write but not as great as the picture of a beautiful woman.I don’t know if it’s you in the picture or not but there is something seriously attractive about her.
It’s beauty that goes deeper than skin,wisdom that goes deeper than words,scar tissue that colours the soul.
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
