Old Typescripts

Time oozes away, Squeezes sad play Old pathway think Old typescripts link Odd as old age A lost vintage Yellow with time Such sparkling rhymes So much unsaid Like bills unpaid Overdue yet sad Word crumpled mad Typewriter trace Now out of place Black ink punched print Red ink smudged tint Verse in brisk strokes Lines of rhymes yoke An era past Yet words outlast Cast in laid wood Paper craft mood Words of a kind Echo not blind Leon Enriquez 20 February 2019 Singapore
