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.

Glenn Buttkus
