To Grow Old Together Poem by Gianfranco Aurilio
To Grow Old Together
I always hoped
to have you by my side
during the sunset of life,
when the sun
is so close to the horizon
that the night is almost frightening,
when everything
seems to be filtered
by the awareness
that time is almost up,
that the things that looked so far away
are now so close,
when we think more about tomorrow
than about today.
I always hoped
you would be by my side
because I knew
that smiling
would be easier,
that hugs
would still be the same
difficulties less difficult
efforts less tiring
suffering more tolerable
joys more intense,
because I wanted to share
every moment of my life with you,
even the final ones.
I always hoped
we would be together
and now that the wrinkles
are even deeper
because you're gone,
the night
doesn't scare me anymore.
here the night brings- difficulties, sufferings cause- you're gone! but, this night gives- effort to live, hope to tolerate this life more......../// beautiful poem
Yes, not all the nights are dark. We think that they are nights, but they are not. Thank you.
Dear Poet, every word in your poem touched my heart! Life is unpredictable, but we go on. Congratulations on your poem being chosen as POD.
The yearning to be together when the time to leave this world is arriving is so intense here. Love for each other is deep and even death can't take it away. A very emotional poem. Liked it. 'difficulties less difficult efforts less tiring suffering more tolerable joys more intense, because I wanted to share every moment of my life with you, '.. is so nice. Congrats.
An unexpected ending to a well written and thought out poem. I enjoyed this and the sentiment that life goes on...
