forgive me if i smile young heiress of a naked dream you are so young and i too old to learn of love......love is love; love can tolerate all, love is unstable power even in severe lost. True love never broken down into pieces, lives with the confidence though the memory of love never dies; great poem penned; pleasure to read

This is a superb poem which expresses the anxiety of the old toward the young when it comes to expressions of love. Very well written. One of my favorites!

An interesting poem by Ms. Sanchez gives food for thought. Are we ever too old to learn of love?

Lovely poem. There is nothing as diversified as love. Being old teaches us new ways of love.... Seeing love in its universality from human to beast to Nature.

This is love, but you're too young to understand, and I am too old to learn. Brilliantly penned.

'' forgive me if I smile young heiress of a naked dream you are so young and i too old to learn of love. '' '' perdonami se sorrido, giovane ereditiera di un sogno spoglio; tu sei così giovane, ed io troppo vecchio per imparare l'amore. ''
