Free Cee Linear Longevity

LINEAR LONGEVITY One cannot assuage one’s age Once one is forced to turn a page On to the next chapter at hand And perhaps on to a foreign land I cannot deny what your eyes espy Wrinkles that weren’t there yesterday But are now on my face to stay Linear signs that signify three scores of years Brought about by laughter and too many tears Crevices created and fated by fears And grief that is difficult to gauge Because no one can assuage one’s age Time has sculpted this face of mine A furrowed brow by fate’s design Behind these lines is a lengthened tale And reminders of when my life first turned stale © 2012…copyright..PHREEPOETREE~free cee!~
