lost cemetary
and what garden
with tombstones
overgrown
with neglect
has lasted
this long,
ancient,
the cold stones
weather worn,
more so
with each
passing season,
once sorrow,
but now
the tears
and the names
all long
forgotten.

Traces of Grey
I don’t really mind
growing older…
I mind
growing older without you.
May I
Trace your grey
Someday?
growing older…
I mind
growing older without you.
May I
Trace your grey
Someday?

dark and light
when
my final
moments come
and death
is there
to guide me,
i hope
i will not
cower
in
the darkness
afraid,
but i hope
i am able
to find
the strength
to turn on
the light
and face
whatever
comes.

On My First Day As A Pensioner
You need
A lot of balls
To be a post op
Trans woman
Life model
Wearing your birthday suit
On your birthday
Aged sixty-six
Yay Me!

Mature Emotion
when are we
too old
to have
a crush
more
fashionable
(or politically correct)
to say
‘infatuation’ or
‘new
relationship energy’
still a rose
by any other name
lusty curiosity
and obsession
(C)2022 Raibeart Bruis

fleeting moments
so fleeting,
so precise,
life
is a journey
we travel,
each day
more precious,
moments
that will
define us,
moments
that are
swept away
with the current
of our
yesterdays,
only
the memories
can drift back.

Counterintuition
The older I become,
the less I can cope
with my own emotions.
Both extremes
feel the same,
evoke panic
and desperation.
It wouldn't be a problem
if I were able
to remain stable.
the less I can cope
with my own emotions.
Both extremes
feel the same,
evoke panic
and desperation.
It wouldn't be a problem
if I were able

older we get
she feels more fragile than she did twenty odd years ago, but then she looks even more beautiful than when we first met

Birch
Leaves of Springtime green:
Youth growing respectably old;
Thus, crowned at Summer’s end
In hues of august gold.
Youth growing respectably old;
Thus, crowned at Summer’s end
In hues of august gold.
