Live's joke

why come to me now
when i am like this
i no longer walk straight
infact i'v a limp.

why not when i was younger
why now when i am old
or is it just another
one of live's joke.

why not when i was beautiful
why now when i'm a hag
why not when i was desirable
why now when i sag.

i can no longer give life
so what, if you want to plant seed?
my feilds past flourishing
you might say, dried up like a weed.

there was a time i sank my teeth into danger
not afraid afraid of screaming out loud
but now im afraid of laughing too much
in fear,they'll fall out.

if you can understand this poem
or in anyway to it relate
then know my friend the jokes on you
because love, it has no age.

About this poem:
think my poem speaks for itself however just to say if you find maybe some of my words kinda raw or harsh??? do excuse but i used deliberatly because i think sometimes we are hard on ourselfs and so much so we do loose sight of ourselfs and cant even except what we deserve when given... love included' i just used age for a example.

Hi, itchywitch,
because love, it has no age... Well, I don't know if matches really are made in heaven or if beauty is truly in the eye of the beholder; but, I agree, love certainly is magical - at any age! Thanks for sharing.

hi GNJ4U wave
i didnt say i think matches are made in heaven, my own personal opinion is they are matched before and cannot enter untill found, but thats just my thought.. does love really exist in the eye of the beholder??? i think so but i thint attraction vanity and shallowness builts up a mighty fine wall around the person within... in other words, were all capable of been mislead or misguided or dont you think??? but such is life' given with what ever stage you are at... me thinks.
