Woman-less now for years, sometimes I remember
women I was romantically involved with in my life
and damn! for better or for worse, they
sure made my life more interesting
through, laughter, joys, heartaches and tears
they brought fascinating times to my years
and despite the disappointments, the heartaches,
the risks and uncertainties
sometimes, though rarely, I think I’d like to experience
some of those times again
as I remember how wonderful it was to feel a woman’s
tender touch, to see her eyes looking lovingly at me.
