Getting Old

The ring of slipped faults split the bed waiting to answer voices in my head cold breezes and cold shoulders nights like this getting old not a warm spot left to hold Love letters read in the light of day tears spilt washing it all away cold breezes and cold shoulders extinguished embers spark lie low even your soul has a frosted glow The looks are of only Jimmy Choo no longer longing to run after you cold breezes and cold shoulders distanced dreams dissipate a rising star wishes eluding I wonder who we are

A very thought provoking poem, Tim. Getting old is very liberating to me. I love getting older. Keeping your mind young is the key. Love the poem though.

Nicely expressed, I like the repeating line, it gives power to the verse. Keep it up. (Getting old not bad for me...only if I can no longer climb a ladder to change a bulb!! ;D)

I'm still getting oldER, and can't explain yet the sensations you must be feeling.. but aging, time passing.. it's such a hard thing on everyone. I love the line "even your soul has a frosted glow." how wonderful. Thank you so much for sharing! Love, Juli-Michelle

Heart-wrenching Tim..When our bed is cold and we feel alone...Sometimes we just have to let go of the past and move on..Am touched.

I feel your words... The way it is written sounds like a song. A sad love song. But a very beautiful one.
