Unfortunate Lover (Free verse) by elderking
Unfortunate lover,
your arrival came late.
My winter approaches
and there's no time to wait.
Had you been fortunate,
sweet love of mine,
you would have loved me
in an earlier time.
It doesn't seem fair,
my youth never seen.
You should have been there,
to love me long, tan and lean.
Still you're unmindful,
as kisses land sweet,
upon deepened laugh lines
and tracks of crow's feet.
Winter can't be all bad
within your embrace;
your loving softens
time's signs on my face.
