Best Ages Poems


Dark Ages
If in one thousand years they'll ask me
What made this one so different 
I'll say lust for purity  
And control lingered on
Only this time God
Was shaped like an 
'S' with two
Lines through
It...

Premium Member Through the Ages What I Remember
Magazines and jewelry 
Nothing shows your age faster
I see a broach and think “That is from the 40’s or 50’s.”
Mink stoles were from the 30’s to sixty’s depending on the style.
Mushroom canister sets excite my 1970’s self.
Teenage movie magazines from the 50’s and 60’s 
are...

Soldier of Ages
Dedicated to  Lt. Gen. George S. Patton, Jr. (November 11, 1885 – December 21, 1945) 


I'd fought a hundred battles 
       through the ages past and new 
I'd been a lowly foot soldier 
    ...

Hope of the Ages
I'm getting older, Father Time's my foe: 
I cannot trust a fart, and pee all night - 
have ceased to count how many times I go;
I'm to and fro the loo 'till morning's light.

I've gained a rounded tum and lost my hair,
my flesh has started...

Premium Member Dark Ages
She thinks in exotic colours 
that drip off her tongue 
like sharp shining jewels
formed somewhere deep 
in the permafrost of her,
the grey matter thrives
in the lava somewhere
rising inside the 
lux velvet crimson 
pulsing at the core of her, 
and births diamonds 
that drip off her...

Premium Member A Love Affair For the Ages
The big yellow moon shone down from above
Lovers walked together hand in hand
Expressions of intense passion bursts forth
Strolling on the beach kicking sand

The look in their eyes was of ultimate devotion
As if no one existed but the two
The world could come crashing down around them
On...

The Culture Since Ages
After the evolution of fire,
Man’s wise discovery for survival
Was the indispensible culture
Of raising crops.

It came through their ancestors,
They created fields of happiness.

Albeit accurate in their perspective of culture,
They were unaware of the modern complications,
But they believed their culture and worshiped it.

The men were a collision...

Premium Member Dark Ages Revisited
If the Dark Ages were to come again
and electricity would cease to exist,
pray tell what'd happen to us?
P'raps it be smart to start a list.

Well I certainty wouldn't be sharing

You can bet your bottom dollar!
And if I needed some help on a...

Different Ages, Different Loves
When she was just fifteen… 
She was but a child
But a sweet teen
She was kind of wild
Full of desire
Excited about love
In the ivory palaces of her mind
Which rose a white dove:
With a fury
Flawless in a never changing
World ...

She was just fifteen….

When she was twenty one
She...

Premium Member Love For the Ages
Wrinkled, old, and fat -- she's very.
Ashtray eyes and skin is hairy,
but watches over her gray lover.

While her lover lying, dying,
smiling at her begged: "No crying,
for the decades fast flew while loving you.”

“No life could have been better spent,
than with you in this firmament.
No time...
