Lust Lost
“If you want to succeed with women, just tell them
that you are impotent.”--Cary Grant.
Damn,
there was a time
when a slight breeze
could prompt an erection.
When aroused
I would bellow like a bull
chasing heat,
quivering with vociferous groans
as I dribbled and seethed
with excitement.
Back then,
when limbs were limber.
there was no need
to embellish my adventures.
Thank Cupid,
there was always
plenty of eager women
to reciprocate my rip-roaring
romantic forays.
But egad,
these grayish days,
with hoar frost for hair,
limited mobility,
and a reduced libido,
my role as a Lothario
is limited to the
erotic lines
in my poetics;
More’s the pity.

I would never have credited the word choices would give rise! to an x-rated sounds and sights poetics Glenn (particularly liked the "hoar frost for hair,")
P.S. I could just about spot the hearing words ;)
This is absolutely magnificent a poem, Glenn! I smiled at; "Thank Cupid,there was always plenty of eager women to reciprocate my rip-roaring romantic forays." Such a pleasure to read you again, my friend 💝💝
Agreeing with Laura, "hoar frost for hair" is a wonderful piece of imagery. The rest of the poem is also quite vivid.
Glenn, I appreciate your rueful honesty and really wish I could say I can't relate to it. I think it may be a matter of hormones as much as the hoar frost. Not to minimize anything -- no pun intended -- at least there is still poetry to revel in the idea of it.
In all my years brother, in all of my bands, through all of the late-night-early-AM’s — I never met a whore that wasn’t at least a bit frosted… 😏😉🤣
Laughing all the way
Just a breeze, you say? Hmmmm....
Sizzling piece. Made me want to read more about this character. Do you write about him often?
Real, roaring truth...how does one live with what was only once before? Superb poetry.
Wonderfully creative take. I enjoyed this from that fantastic opening through the end.
You've certainly aroused a lot of laughter with this one, Glenn! Fantastic!

Yeah yeah, Glenn. We were all super heroes back then :)
This was quite a ride, Glenn: well done!
Lol! I was grinning as I read this!
Oh I love this and it's alas all too true... but there is a lot of angst disappearing as well with that libido I think.
Haha! Love your limp Lothario! Egad!
Well you certainly rose to the occasion.....rose to the challenge....
Smiling I am. Truth told in a humorous way.
