youthful flower
if i
cry like
the dawn,
where we
will find
pleasures,
a joy
in delight
that charms
the air,
and in
love's tender
poise,
let not
one petal
of her
flower
be seen
to fade
or wilt.

Fountain of youth runs dry
Grow old become wise
Insightful before you die
Fuck it, give me youth!
Insightful before you die
Fuck it, give me youth!

animal heaven
i had
heard that
all dogs
go to
heaven,
i even
watched
the animated
movie,
wouldn't it
seem fair
to know
that heaven
would show
the same
consideration
and privileges
towards cats
as well?

fly trap
all these minutes
from all the years
collected together
like flys in a jar
with the lid tightly
on
each aching to
spread their
wings one last
time
as the clock breaths
it's last
from all the years
collected together
like flys in a jar
with the lid tightly
on
each aching to
spread their
wings one last
time
as the clock breaths
it's last

young and fearless
i was once
young
and fearless,
i did
things
to my
satisfaction,
too careless
to be
beat down,
but now
so many
years
have passed,
my youth
long gone,
and i
take
my time,
i'm
a little
more cautious
these days.

moonlight drive
full moon
blood orange,
the stars
in their
bone boxes,
all waiting,
bowing,
perhaps
it is
sentimental,
in
the event
it was
once weddings,
fat babies,
now, this
and that.

Waning
Too soon
we find
the aches in
our joints
begin
to echo
the ones
in our hearts

Helping Hand
You're a budding rose
I'm a withered aging plant
Help me see the light
I'm a withered aging plant
Help me see the light

voices of ancestors
i heard
the sound
of flutes
playing in
the garden,
the fields,
leaves
alive now
with spirits,
no one
is asleep
in the far off
graveyard,
ancestors
wait,
their voices
come from
the
moist soil,
they
let me know
dreams
still exist.

thought I was
dying, but she said no you just ate your dinner too fast
and you’re suffering from indigestion.
I baulked and hiccoughed
and coughed at the
very suggestion

ruins of the castle still stood atop
the hill, admittedly not as
strongly as the castle once did, but we’re old, the ruins said
