A Man Of A Certain Age
(I honestly don't know how to categorize this poem but if it is in the wrong place, I hope there is a mod who can move it)
Hell, I used to be damned pretty y'all .[/font]
Boyish Grin, Bulging biceps and pecs[/font]
Standing 6 foot 2inches tall[/font]
This man commanded much, much respect[/font]
And I worked really hard; took a whole lot of shit[/font]
To get the things I now have in life[/font]
I've had houses and things; both pets and kids[/font]
Once upon a time, I even had a wife[/font]
But to find herself one day she did leave and honestly that was alright[/font]
My kids are both now fully grown and I still sleep real good at night[/font]
I look back over my life and I'm proud to say[/font]
I'm a healthy, happy, better man; a man of a certain age[/font]
So I guess that's why it pisses me off to no end[/font]
To hear the same bullshit again and again and again[/font]
“Hey there daddy; why are you looking at me”[/font]
A wry wrinkle crest my brow as I wonder what the hell you see[/font]
when you look at me.[/font]
I'm still 6'2” and yes I've got a little more padding[/font]
My hair is a bit thinner and there's just a tad more sagging[/font]
I still look good and the fire is still there[/font]
And that bulge is “au natural” in my boxer underwear[/font]
Young lady, I don't want to bore you with it but........[/font]
….......maybe I should “bore U” deeper [/font]
'cuz baby girl from where I sit[/font]
You may not be worthy to even drink with me if you can't see that I'm a
keeper[/font]
I mean, being a man of a certain age carries a whole lot of clout[/font]
And If I lay your body down, I would surely wear your young ass out[/font]
But less I digress I will share this with you [/font]
Before I say things that this “younger man” used to.[/font]
Never judge anyone based solely on age 'cause[/font]
Age is just a number; has no particular bearing on how I behave[/font]
Because I'm stronger; I'm wiser. I'm a man of a certain age[/font]
And just because my age don't start with 2, I can still turn you into my
“love slave.”[/font]
I've matured I've learned a lot of things[/font]
I've learned how to listen. I've learned to observe everything.... [/font]
I've learned just how to use my indelible charm[/font]
And if haven't noticed young feline, there’s always a “woman” on my
arm[/font]
I don't have to flash money; I always have plenty[/font]
I don't mind sharing when the young feline don't have any[/font]
I've discovered the difference between intimacy and sex[/font]
And if you stop judging the book by it's cover, that's a trait I'm sure
you'd come to respect[/font]
With me baby girl, your pleasure always comes first[/font]
I will satisfy all of your fantasies and baby, he who forgets that is
surely cursed.[/font]
And I've forgotten more “moments in love” than your body could ever
handle.[/font]
And when I spread open your legs and give you “the rock”[/font]
Your body will burn white hot like a flaming roman candle[/font]
And again you say, “old man, why are you looking at me?”[/font]
This man of a certain age just shakes his head for I know you can't handle [/font]
None of this, don't you see?[/font]
But still I watch and wonder; yeah I want to take you on[/font]
To teach you what a real man is so that when my certain age has gone[/font]
You can be a testament to every other young lady [/font]
That there is a real difference between a man and momma's little
baby.........[/font]
….....boi. Yeah, there are some nice curves hanging there from your beautiful
dark brown frame.[/font] And yes I'm enjoying the scenic view, “baby girl please won't u tell me your name.”[/font]
I always like to know exactly “who” I'm eatin'
when I'm there between your luscious thighs and I can feel your heart wildly beatin'[/font]
While I'm licking, and sucking; massaging the insides of your thighs-those
beautiful bright eyes gleaming[/font]
The last thing you'll see before you start to cum[/font]
Is that old man there between your thighs that's got your body
creamin'......[/font]
….....so damned good. And he'll hold and squeeze your body , caress you with all his might.[/font]
…... until you are ready for some more good love............I “can”
keep this up all night.[/font]
So open up those pretty brown eyes. This is real; it ain't no dream[/font]
There's more to this man of a certain age.
Much more than it really seems.[/font]
For this man of a certain age is surely not ready to die[/font]
Within him resides that same handsome creature that was there as a younger
guy.[/font]
Just better and stronger and wiser.[/font]
More understanding, passionate intimate, sensual and kind[/font]
Because I am a fabulous man of a certain age..............so[/font]
…......Will it be “your place” or will it be “mine”? [/font]
Hell, I used to be damned pretty y'all .[/font]

The author encourages honest critique.
I read this then went sailing for several hours, and it stayed with me...take that as a compliment if you must, but hear me out...
Too long, too much like a bad ad in an online dating agency, too much like teenage porn, too much like a man who is past it justifying his lust too the unobtainable, and not saying it well...please re-write, remove, interogate the poem and cut away that which cannot justify itself...and don't rhyme, unless you are committed to folding and fitting and fighting to make a shape that falls naturally upon the minds tongue, like this doesn't...I understand, upon reading your work, that this forms, and is part of, a narrative, but you need to work harder for us to care...get bigger, get more, get under my skin, make me feel like we are sharing an experience, an existence...make it pop baby, and be prepared to work for it!!!
(Feel free to ignore me, because I often don't 'get' poetry of this type, but I too, am a man of a certain age, and I'm just sayin'...)

Thanks Hemi. Thanks for the critique. This one still has some "edges" but then maybe it needs to.
