Premium Member Sex After 40

(WARNING  SIGNS)

You are old and fragile
Claiming to be a lion when in bed
In some way, you remind me of the walking dead
Your bones make a sound when walking across the room
Rattling, as if they know your end is near
Confusing rigor mortis where muscle mass once stood

You say you have stamina that has no end
Until now, your back hurts when you move
Losing count of every inch that got away!!!
With your moods constantly changing,
I prefer not to mention the belly fat around your waist

Then you have romantic days, you plea to love
You chase down a Viagra pill with red fuzz
Seemingly, without adding depression to your day
Pill's are the only object expanding when swallowed
40 some, and you think you can romp around the room
I yawn, yet you are the one tired, next to doom

Dusty and old you boxer shorts
Can't remember the last time you stayed up late
Kicking the bucket every time I talk about S E X
Your hairline aged with time, bold and bald 
I forgot which one you recalled this morning
Perhaps these are signs of low testosterone 
Merely in the meantime............... R.I.P. WILL YA!!!

Haiku 40 Till Haiku 47 Beneath the Sakura Tree

cherry blossoms drift

upon the white casket

-a fading pink hue

--- 


she scatters his ashes

where cherry blossoms bloom

-life after life


----

early miscarriage

-cherry blossoms wither

before leaves bloom


- - -

my unborn child

-cherry blossoms

wither too soon

- - - 


cherry blossoms

in hues of pink

-our baby girl

- - -

first  cherry  falls

upon melting snowflakes

-Spring's blossom

---

cherry blossom

-i lick fresh sweetness

from his lips


---


beneath the sakura tree

i shape a heart of petals

-without you




Not for the contest but tnks Susan 
and friends you are an inspiration

Premium Member - 40 Feels Better Than 50 -

You soon realize that now
It’s your time to shine
You’ve always been free in your soul
Loving and giving love
You perfect the right balance 
Magical conjunction on the right place
Isen't it funny ?
You will be 40 on your next birthday

You could have been completely free
But I love you and you love me
We’re still together
Through joy and bad weather
For one more anniversary

~Fal Is  So Beautiful~
(Rick's 40)


Fall
Is so 
Beautiful
I just love it
My favorite season
Sights and smells are so wonderful
Trees suddenly transform 
Colorfully
Magical
Array
Shown


Now
We see
And enjoy
All this beauty
In front of our own eyes
So much display all around us
With all of Gods blessings
From heaven above
To bring joy
Refresh
Soul.

40 Days

My heart is heavy today 
It has nothing to do with the first day
Her smile like my effort, Impressive 
Her hair dyed and buried the queens how majestic 
Her beauty so be witching 
Who knew the devil as an angel? 
Trust me feels like good luck  for more than a moment 
But the torture in a second 
More than the thirst of 40 days 

My heart is heavy today 
It has nothing to do with valentine the day 
That moment like the all Seeing Eye Iconic
The roses, the champagne and cake all eyegasmic 
My happiness true like this words 
Who knew the devil as an angel? 
I’m sure God, Jesus and (because I am tired) the rest
My ignorance pierced my Armor of knowledge 
My funeral less painful I will be a sleep I can bear 
This is more than the thirst of 40 days 

My heart is heavy today 
It has nothing to do with her kind soft touch 
My tears like the story of my life just flowing 
My pain just like my nails keep growing 
My heart just like my will broken 
Who knew the devil as an angel?
I must have, but the dance was so inviting 
The pale moonlight a scene so romantic 
Then to witness the murder of Joy; a pain so corrosive
More than the thirst of 40 days 

My heart is heavy today 
It has everything to do with the one who left 
The words like cupid’s arrows piercing 
The memories we made like my love for you indispensable 
But the pain caused make me wish you drown unsavable 
Pretending to be fine like the sands by the sea 
But my wound to heal I hope for the sands of time 
Who knew the devil as an angel?
Trust me I did 
It was fun while it lasted 
I pray to make it through my thirst of 40 days

Ali Baba and the 40 Thieves - Aka African Governance

Standing in front of the hidden entrance

On horseback, with loud sacks

Clinking as loot hit loot.

With smiles of satisfaction adorning their faces

The chief said the magic words, and in went the team;

Safe from the spoiled, safe from the world,

Ready to go back out and lay misery on  poor souls

WD-40
(jingle)
By Franklin Price
6/9/2015

WD-40 an excellent lube
Sprayed from a can
Not squeezed from a tube
Frees rusted screws
And bicycle chains 
Cleans up the tracks
Of old model trains
So much more
WD-40 can do
I think you will find
It's a great lube for you

Premium Member A 40-Page Magazine

Certainly worked my bum off today
Creating a 40 page magazine, still making hay
You'd think I've had enough
Of this graphic design stuff
But it keeps me alive and the grey clouds away
