As yellow leaves wither in the autumn breeze, only apathetic thoughts remain in this nonchalant existence of my diseased body and over the hill mind! It reminds me a time of agility, A time of struggle and celebrations, An age when dreams of a better future bloomed, And leaping up those stairs to pluck the petals...

In a world once illuminated by the gold of bygone times, A dark veil is now woven, a prison for lost souls, Where critical spirit and free thought are but whispered memories, Control of education becomes the key to inescapable conformity. Values are distorted, and obedience becomes the supreme virtue, While the media becomes a dance of shadows that distracts...

Sediments are yet to be cleared From the window sill of the days bygone Handprints of an owner's ignorance Remains carved on the glass alone. Fossils of a lively refuge Still masked by dust veils Home, where once honey grew Now marks the tombstone of loves's grave. Novelty springs under The eternal fountain of life The creatures of days bygone Stop to greet the...

Know a sweet lady who was once a nurse In a home for retired folks A perfect personality to take care of the aged Such tender caring she evokes Her sweet loving nature was a perfect match They must have really adored her A tender loving soul with a heart of gold A one-in-a-million type girl Honoured by her friendship and dear sweet...

The barn is hollowed by time, greased by phantom tractor engines. A rusting spade and shotgun, laid-up in the shadowy bygone. A dusty hayloft full of owl songs. The mice are out in the fields, where the corn once waved as it shone, they know that night birds, will dream of blood soon. rodents burrow into the dark for yet more dark. Owl throats fill and...

Roaming over the wheatfields their joints a-cranking insecticide fog blankets the air Oklahoma dustbowl bleeds Relics of a bygone day, all angles they move ravaging fields and pests, pests and fields wheels of progress a-churning away ...

With her first words she mesmerized his soul, Of rose water and lavender was her aroma, Her tip tap of her fairy tale walk was majestic, A woman of status still in her prime of depth and note, Wisps of red-hot curls, floating out of control adding To her appeal, a magnetic touch to the usual Variety of husband seeking...

Memories are the lamps that illuminate the dark channels of life Eden Verse In the light of summer sunset Shimmer they on silver sands Days of childhood days of mirth Come and stand in bygone lands Mist on shore and time of morning Bring with them the Days of yore Days when life was mirth and Glee Nights were filled with magic lore Wondered I...

In the dusting of the spring time, Sweet scented thoughts of yesterday, Make my sulky heart sing and chime, For memories that won’t fade away. The buds on trees now softly sway, Reminding me of love once shared, Of moments that have slipped away, Of trices when we truly cared. But time keeps ticking on and on, And life moves forward with its stride, Yet...

Write I, and not another, in jealousless inward discover. The beauty of my eye and the match of my heart In overflowing settlement think I of her with feelings tart Pondering: what else could I have done? The one she rests upon she loves, but I still love but one. It’s not his fault, nor mine I...
