Should I with youth long gone conspire <br />To inter the seed of all desire <br />Then, shall all my thoughts be still <br />Cloistered within the walls of age <br />No needs, no joy, no will <br />When in my thoughts I do frequent <br />The long ago of random bent <br />And in the corridors of my mind <br />Remain; forever young <br />With memories entwined <br />While still within my body strong <br />Desire I feel and yet do long <br />As much as I did when I was young <br />For the kiss tomorrow may bring <br />With another dawn<br /><br />william f park<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-aged-desire/
