Promiscuous Tupsy

I remember tupsy,

So cute when young

She was then 22 - 24

Back then, socially strong.

She wears her gown short,

Her eyes like the glowing sun,

She knows how to tease a man

Life was just a piece of fun.

She has a couple of man-lovers,

A girl has to look good and fine,

And that gentle dedicated boy lover,

Thought he has a priceless piece of pie

Tupsy rides on the Promiscuous horse,

Her back-view others wantonly ride,

Her body carries the fifty shades of gray,

Under her youthful skin she hides.

24/7 on social media and the rest,

Her fingers twin with screen and keyboard,

"Can you be Forever young?"

Nah.. Adulthood almost on board

She and her likes,

Tamed by the world they live,

The firmness of the chest now sags;

A fallen pride like a fallen leaf.

The twenties has flown, 33 in toll

Past deeds are sometimes irreparable,

The creator can not be blamed

For making time so inevitable..

Youthful energy dissipates,

Lost like a smoke in the sky

Can you turn back the hand of time?

Those gone days money can't buy.
