Some mornings
When you are over eighty, the medics lose interest
in your health, I used to see the heart specialist every six months
and check diabetes every three months
now they have stopped seeing me.
It is like they think, what the heck he is old enough anyway.
Not that I care sitting all day indoors looking out
of the window seeing life lived as a spectator.
The phone doesn´t ring anymore and the few friends I had
are dead or in the bosom of AA, their life has been reduced
going to meeting keeping their morale up.
Listening...

Weaks
Some have very high
Sexual needs
Others cery few needs
And still find a way
Lovely offers to reject
As presented on a platter.
Masochists?
I say, to a degree
But also many stupid reasons
And a bad link in the brain
That tells, nay, commands
To refrain.

Are you fading?
Are you fading away?
Who do you see
When you look into the mirror?
Visions of your ghost
Seem to be getting much clearer
Your light used to shine
And light up the night
But it's going dim
Are you losing the fight?
Don't give in to
The eternal dark
Keep searching
Until you find your lost spark
Who do you see
When you look into the mirror?
Visions of your ghost
Seem to be getting much clearer
Your light used to shine
And light up the night
But it's going dim
Are you losing the fight?
Don't give in to
The eternal dark
Keep searching
Until you find your lost spark

It wasn't
a cunt
that caused
the lump
in my throat
but the other
C word
Cancer
What started
as a hiccup
was now
a full dance card
with death
I am
not sure
if I have
the shoes
for it
a cunt
that caused
the lump
in my throat
but the other
C word
Cancer
What started
as a hiccup
was now
a full dance card
with death
I am
not sure
if I have
the shoes

Appearances.
She was dressed decent
As always, obedient
But, surprise
This night she was
High -
Something new
But not to those few
Who really really
Knew her.
As always, obedient
But, surprise
This night she was
High -
Something new
But not to those few
Who really really
Knew her.

Bereft
He was sitting
By the mews
Reading of her death
The sad news
Totally bereft
And a huge hole
In his heart
It left.

Totally bereft

Beneath the Surface
Feelings that run deep within.
They escape from under my skin.
Flooding out the laceration instead.
The blood runs red.
It drips off of my knee.
I feel like it's marking me.
Copious amounts rapidly gush.
My body senses the rush.
The wound won't mend.
My pain will not end.
Agony in my screams.
Nothing is what it seems.
Medicine isn't giving me repose.
Don't bother giving me another dose.
They escape from under my skin.
Flooding out the laceration instead.
The blood runs red.
It drips off of my knee.
I feel like it's marking me.
Copious amounts rapidly gush.
My body senses the rush.
The wound won't mend.
My pain will not end.
Agony in my screams.
Nothing is what it seems.
Medicine isn't giving me repose.
Don't bother giving me another dose.

Not In Sight
No matter what I do.
I'm nothing to you.
Giving you my soul.
To meet your goal.
I know you don't care.
To you, I'm not there.
At the most.
I'm a ghost.
My footsteps make no sound.
When they hit the ground.
I walk on the air.
Here, there, everywhere.
I still attempt to run.
Trying to become someone.
I'm not that dense.
It won't make a difference.
A victory I'll never attain.
My efforts were in vain.
I'm nothing to you.
Giving you my soul.
To meet your goal.
I know you don't care.
To you, I'm not there.
At the most.
I'm a ghost.
My footsteps make no sound.
When they hit the ground.
I walk on the air.
Here, there, everywhere.
I still attempt to run.
Trying to become someone.
I'm not that dense.
It won't make a difference.
A victory I'll never attain.
My efforts were in vain.

Redemption
I have made many mistakes.
But life gives no retakes.
Knowing I can't undo the past.
The iron bond made to last.
Yet the feelings remain.
Forced to face the pain.
Own up to my choices.
Listen to the crying voices.
Not sure if I'm able.
To get past this label.
I know that I've caused grief.
I'm trying to give relief.
Hopefully, my heart is true.
Sorry that I hurt you.
But life gives no retakes.
Knowing I can't undo the past.
The iron bond made to last.
Yet the feelings remain.
Forced to face the pain.
Own up to my choices.
Listen to the crying voices.
Not sure if I'm able.
To get past this label.
I know that I've caused grief.
I'm trying to give relief.
Hopefully, my heart is true.
Sorry that I hurt you.

Blink
Young from bright peak views
endless horizon of firsts
they’ve no time to lose
too soon comes valley of lasts
where is sung the goodbye blues
endless horizon of firsts
they’ve no time to lose
too soon comes valley of lasts
where is sung the goodbye blues
