Old Hearts Can Be Broken

Love knows no limits and cares not one whit!

Yes…Even old hearts
can be broken
Tis true that love
Cares not of age
That same fire of youth
Still bears the truth
Of the flame that still
Within doth rage…

Old hearts can still lead
The mind astray…
When wants and needs
Must have their way
When the season of reason
Leads one to passion
Age is no matter
Love will have it’s day…

Old hearts can still race
At a furious pace
At a touch…
At a glimpse…
Of a quite special face
And the consequence of which
Is not often spoken…
 And that is…Yes!

Oh Lord yes! …Even old hearts
…can be broken…

Author's Note

I think love is an equal opportunity institution, don't you?

Oh my goodness. One of the best things about getting older is that you can finally leave all that mess behing you. I've had three marriages, several disasterous relationships, and I'm done.

Well, not entirely. there is G.H.....

yes, it is an equal opportunity institution...and this is an excellent piece.

as we age we not only deal with relationships not working out, but that broken heart that comes from losing a loved one due to a passing---two roads to hurt, the older the driver.
