In his youth he was an Adonis.
Rippling muscles adorned his physique.
He had the V shaped body others envied.
He had the chiseled big muscles few could attain.
He enjoyed admiring looks from many women.
Now he’s an old man past 80, his muscles erased.
His V shape body eradicated.
He looks like he never worked out.
You cannot tell he was an adonis once.
Age related sarcopenia slayed his physique.
It stripped away his muscles and V shape.
As he grew older and closer to becoming
just another muscleless skeleton buried in the earth.
