She and I

She said, it's overboard

I said, it's ok

Old age

She said, I'm scared

I said, it's ok

Old age

She asks take my hand

So I did

Old age

We lay in bed, bare

We lay together, till the end

Old age

Reviews

[John the Baptist]

A lot said in this spare, brief poem. Perhaps because I am in old age I can relate to it. There is a touching nobility about the support that can be given mutually in the latter hears. Perhaps true love dwells here more than in the passion of youth. Well done.
