Michael J. Falotico Poet Rhyme

Never Tamed

These eyes are a little squinted...
                                  A splash of grey now on the sides...
                              A body not the same as life trickles by...
                            Maybe the golf ball falls a little shorter then 
                                                   yesterday...
                           The times of heading out in the late evening 
                                                 are far away..
                              The frame has changed and the reflection
                                                 not the same...
                               But a heart not aged with a soul of a child
                                   stays forever young and never tamed...

Elizabeth Wesley November 6, 2011 at 5:52 PM Let's never grow old, it is a waste of time - we need to taste every new day with expectation and we won't (usually) be disappointed. Love the way you say it! :)

Kabuteng P.Ink K. November 6, 2011 at 11:15 AM Ah yes, what is inside is truly more important, and you have that ageless quality about you, Michael-- and I am a firm believer that those who are young at heart, it definitely reflects on their outer self... :) and yes, I haven't been that active here-- btw I wish you the best with your book! hugs back to you :D

Joyce Johnson November 6, 2011 at 11:06 AM Bold words and true. Our spirits and love of life can last to our last breath. Well said. Thank you for your more than kind comments. Love, Joyce

Carolyn Devonshire November 6, 2011 at 9:08 AM Can really relate to this one, Michael. It's hard to understand that we often feel young inside when our body is changing with age. Profound write, my friend. Love, Carolyn

Sarah Seraphin November 6, 2011 at 8:32 AM * “Such Beauty Within Your Soft Voice * My Dear Sweet Michael * Whom Can Tame Love * Once Love Has Found * The Tatse of Beauty Upon Its Lips * Though Days May Grow Short & Nights Sometimes Long * Love Never Subsides Its Pursuit Unto The Fire Which Burns Wild Within Its Heart * Very Beautiful * Luv Always * Sarah.” *
