Aged to Perfection

Like fine aged wine your soul and mind

are seasoned to perfection.

You still hunger and thirst

and in love’s passion immerse

but now seek the ‘beauty within’.

 

The hairs turning gray, much sexier that way

to women who know your true worth.

And the lines on your face

with fingers lovingly trace

for you are the ‘salt of the earth’.

Dara when it comes to matters of the heart your words speak volumes.
You are a true romantic. Lucky is the man worthy of your verses.

This is such a huge compliment! Thank you so much. I have been noticing how men age handsomely and find the grey hair so attractive. Your words really warm this ol' heart :-)

there is so much more to love about a person than the outer beauty...there is something about aging...the heart, the soul, the wisdom...

it is love.

[Dara]

I so agree with you. One only has to look in the eyes to see. Thank you so much for visiting my page. I really appreciate it.

Such a beautiful metaphor use...and so very true my husband is now 40 but i have known him since he was 21yrs old and is aging to perfection !!

[Dara]

Yes, and with it the love grows! Sounds like a match made in Heaven :-)

And like an expensive scotch it has an excellent finish. Well done, dear Dara. I love it.

The hairs turning gray, much sexier that way
to women who know your true worth.

Expressed excellently. Great view and pen too. Love it.

[Dara]

Most welcome and thank you too.

I love the guise of gray on older men. Some just seem to wear it well!
...beautiful lines, Dara!

[Dara]

Thank you Kelly! I am at the point in my life where I get excited about seeing 'salt and pepper' hair. It represents the journey they have been through life. So happy you enjoyed this.

Ahhh, Samuel meant to say wine I think :D
True beauty measured in the value we hold in the hearts of the ones that love us.

[Dara]

Most definitely, real beauty is made up of the heart and soul while physical attributes fade away. Thank you very much!

[Samuel Dickens]

Oh, these words are wise, the knowledge of which can only come from roads traveled and loves lost, gained, or never found. They are tender, also. Certainly, I like to think of myself like a cheese that's improved with age, and not just turned moldy.

[Dara]

Yes, cheese also improves with age! So many loves so little time :-) Thank you for this wonderful review Sam.
