Can'T Catch Em

Can’t catch em 

Outlived my time
Click of eyes, no chime
Still young a bantam rooster
Old people seem to lose the rhyme
Can’t catch em like I u-ster
To walk alone it is my path
Lonesome on the fringe
Time sometimes brings a merry laugh
But who am I to whinge
A kiss for lovers in the mist
A cuddle neath the stars
The right one have I maybe missed
Neath Jupiter and Mars

But onward ever onward
To quest and often fail
Knight errant fearless undeterred
He seeks the Holy Grail

Never give up DON ..your words are impressive and express a desire to know deep true luv..luv.. the components have to align before everything clicks for that sweet moment of knowing .. the atmosphere of this piece is glorious and lovely .. hope is always an option to being lonely luv..
