Beyond Salad Days And Years. A Poem


He sounded like such a stud
Knowing what was to come
It was something
I could not begrudge
Such memories will now
Be small comfort
For what he can
No longer do
For what he has lost.

It was all consenting adults
Interacting to give
And get pleasure.
He looks upon that
With a lens of nostalgia.
Sharing his stories
With any willing audience.

Our salad years
Could that term apply
To when men
Were in their prime?
Not just youth
And it's green dimension?
Now with enhancements
Being plentiful
And salad a diet staple
And more preservatives
To bring about
A longevity of more note
Our salad years
Can last a longer time
Until it is no longer
Physically possible
Or if one's attitude
Wanes with the sun
And the moon
Holds no appeal.

Back to the man
Who has lost so much
He has a mind
That recalls
Those moments
With a fondness
A life that goes on
Beyond salad days
What term would
Now be appropriate?

Independently Romantic Sounds Better Than Lonely

Intriguing poem my lady
- reminiscent of ...

"... frail deeds (dancing) in a green bay..."


As for the days ahead,
"In Balance"

Cheers my lady - P

I enjoyed this, but didn't have near enough time to spend with it as I'd like. Saved it to read again later.
