Mature Love?

Another month finished -
How many more to go
Where Love's assignment has
Been assigned to grow?

Will it get choked out by
The fears from worry?
Or will it flourish in the
Sunshine of positivity?

Whatever will be will be,
But for us - being older,
Seems like an extra challenge to
Give up the freedom of aloneness.

Where darkness was and light now
Shines - shadows are cast and
It seems like only time can tell
What and how to proceed...

Will it be cautiously, fearlessly,
With or without abandon outside the
Easy physical attraction of kisses and
Touches that cool from being denied

By a contract and time apart? I don't
Want to find out and I don't want to
Let go - I want to grow regardless of
The conditions of the soil that has not

Been tilled for quite a while.
