The time has come to end the Longing
To end the Desiring
For what I will never know again.

The Longing now
Is only Humiliation
It is not the preservation of a long dead manhood
The Time has come for Desire-lessness
The helpless recognition
Of young feminine beauty
Without the longing for its embrace.

It is always nice to accept realities gracefully as they start appearing in life with growing age. The end of longing is, thus a relative phrase. Thanks for sharing a thought provoking poem.
