An older woman, a friend of mine too.

Remember an old woman’ a friend of mine?

Those were the innocent times of my younger self

Age continuously is giving into moving on

With the speeding time of today, it accelerates

Leaving traits of pieces and bits in memory lane.

Now that eyesight has given into insight

I once again find myself acknowledging:

An older woman, a friendliest friend of mine too.

This fiery wild “Cougar” has a knack for a snack

With a fierce heart to go for what it wants

Putting all her eggs in one basket, a move

Love, pleasure and desire surpass the risk

Like a furry feline patiently preying she prays.

Time next to healing was always a tamer

This beautiful creature behind the mascara

Harbours love and pain, so do vulnerability

Care, gentleness and tenderness are profound.

For me so-called Toy Boy I’m all in invited

Showing up for a friend in times of need

What could more gestures genuineness of:

“A friend in need is a friend indeed”

For an older woman, a friend of mine too.
