Pennies

I save my pennies
that the wizened apple of my self
might know some comfort

Revealed in light
Sacred touch of healing
We were beautiful in our time

of freedom

i am
in mind
younger
than
in body,
so many
thoughts
possible
like sunsets,
such wisdom
to bless,
adventurous,
a dreamer,
sometimes
i take
my chances,
leave myself
open-minded,
nothing
shameful,
embarrassing,
i am not
opposed
of freedom.

Knuckles

When next you see an old couple holding hands.

Pay attention.

Look how their bent fingers are clasped as one.

They bent them together.

What is that called?

not me

I am these days
by age
made distant from myself,
a shallow bodying
infirm
off balance and
unrecognizable
an alien, a startling wraith within
my mirrorings.
And rest? Sound sleep?
are things now on the brink
of memory.

we love you

doubt we’ll live long enough
to see little
Oliver grow up to be a man, but hope he

at least remembers something
of his grandad and
his nan

Lovely Mistake (in that life can swallow you whole before you see anything coming but next thing is they got you)

this stupid little life
in this
stupid little house
in this
empty soulless city
means (absolutely)
everything
to me

Much About Age!

A blank page
An ageing old sage
Within my cage
Trying to engage
And gage
My outrage
Yet strangely, Beige
Reduces my rage
As i re-engage
For a small wage
Upon a well trodden stage
It's probably my age!

Love has no restriction

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

don’t answer it, dear

the larger and taller
the city the colder the fear
of the unexpected caller,
the knock at the door

Shrieking Siren

broken on the rocks
old, imperfect mermaid
whacked by a paddle

getting old ain’t so bad

no longer go out at night
I like to see where I’m going
to bed with a scotch and a book, and you, of course, and I’m glad
