Is it possible

Gently hold me one more time
love at my age makes no sense or rhyme
years have past, passions have gone
the feelings and exuberance of youth no longer linger on
To trust again I am unsure, can these feelings be endured
Shall I open my heart to someone like you
who makes me feel so bright and new

About this poem:

I am not a poet as you can see but I do write down my feelings sometimes at any given time.

Wondering whether to dip my toes in the dating scene at this time of my life, I am a little shy and reticent in having an expectations in another time and another life than when I was younger.

Hi Boscanova

I would counsel 'Go for it'. Better by far to reach for the stars then fall, then never try to reach the stars at all: Life is short but eternity is for ever - and it would seem to me nothing short of folly to spend all eternity wondering what might have been.

What is there to lose? I wonder if these lines from Gilbert & Sullivan's "Iolanthe" may be of any help...

“Nothing venture, nothing win
“Blood is thick, but water's thin
In for a penny, in for a pound
“It's love that makes the world go round!

Best wishes.

Your counsel is wise dear Sir and I thank you. When I do meet that person who opens my heart then I will be sure remember your comment.

I agree with Gadfly. There may be snow on the roof - but there is still fire and heat inside to share with a special someone. Best of luck - YOU GO GIRL!!

A very nice poem , it's down to earth , keep up the desire to write your feelings. It is sort of like music, there are great compositions which only a gifted person could write - or play - but then a simple melody captures your sole.
Keep up the good work. studecar
