just his pint of view

the old bloke in the pub shrugs
and says it’s over
time things might
get better,
but probably not,
as you get older, he says

Why is Art?

I sometimes think
that when you’re young
you think of art as
a provocation,

and when you’re old
you take it as
a comfort more
than anything,

and in between
it serves as both
depending on
each need and want.

Eternal Night

In grace, they bloomed, life's tender breasts,
Their strength, their love, in our hearts impressed.
Now, like stars at dawn's first light,
They've slipped away, into the eternal night.

in her nineties, she doesn’t think it will happen again

mum was a child in the
second world war and
I was born thirteen years after all
she says life has to go on

Decayimg

I never until recent days believed
that I, afore I’m in the grave,
would ever find
my body decomposing.

How much I’m knowing now
as I decay before my eyes,
that this belief
was vanityed supposing!

being lame

I balked at the kerb like
a horse at a fence
lost my nerve, but
not my common sense

Old

Father why are you so old
Because I have lived long son
Long, long, long.

No boundries

White sand is nonstop
The hourglass will betray
We'll forever love

A Slow Demise

Like old photographs,
memories fade over time
Part of me has died

upon trees and growing old

I loved your leaves, but come
the winter, when you
were stark and naked
and bare, I loved you still more

Everyone forgets my f**king birthday

Generally I'm not a big song and ceremony type
when it comes to birthday hype

If someone asks, I tell them the day
However beyond that I won't remind. Not my way
