and
crow lines
merge us.

That is really great that we should merge as we age with our mate and not separate because of some flight of fancy.
Like the last part, about the farthest shore is here.

I am fifty three...so this appealed to me.....and crow lines merge us..speaks to me of crows feet when we smile at each other....
When love is older it's often meeting of the mind
God bless

good assonance in lips/kiss
good rhyme of fine/wine/refined and others later on
strong sensory and sensual appeal
excellent imagery in delivering your message about aging and the staying power of sensuality

Seems to tell a tale of a growing romance in short clips. I don't think "sun's scraps wrap us" works well because it is almost like a tongue twister. "crow lines merge us" on the other hand works well in this 50 plus piece, indicating crow's feet around the eyes. Good luck in the contest.

This work has reached the exceptional level

So true that age changes us and the passion changes but remains.
"..As long as
sun's scraps
wrap us
and
crow lines
merge us.
Such vivid imagery in these words. Love it!

Amaada;
I truly do not quite understand the totality of this writing, so I will try to make what I get out of it in these next words.
The setting is quite clear the tantalizing lips in the wine That is divine, sets the stage for a romantic encounter. What word set me astray are: "...As long as sun's scraps wrap us." The ones that I understand completely defining in a metaphorical way our old age are: "and crow lines merge us." That is quite definitive. The rest of the poem is is is easy as the last two that I have explained and that is love is just as great or even better after 50.
Thank you so much for sharing and posting this for everyone to read and may the good Lord be with you always, Amada.
Alex

Hi Amada - A good poem for the mature (and not so mature) - love when it comes is great whatever the age and it doesn't matter how old you are. I like the alliteration in 'sun's scraps wrap us' - sounds good with all the s's. Nice use of metaphor in 'crow lines merge' - Good luck in the contest. Warm regards Dorothy x
