Aged chains are hampering me.
They get heavier constantly.

Age changes everything,
Voices crackle, making it hard to sing.

Fear is omnipresent causing anguished moan
Agitating aspirations in distress of unknown.

Homeward bound
On Diamond Shoals 
They...

jaundiced they hide into a jalopy
kapok is soft as cotton

brimming spastic with drive
expedient to mine approval,
displaying can-do gusto
capable of fawning

Beneath the hood, he charges
headlong into the viral putty

before hailing forgiveness
for hampering the...

The days of happiness skedaddled
And made a grimace out of the wrinkled face
Which in a drunken stupor , saddled

Broke into a lugubrious psalm.

Spurs hallucinated, hampering the vision
Hitherto...

Natures winter is upon us
Its her turn to bloom
With greys and whites
With impending consume

The decay of Autumn
Already lies on the ground
Rain, frost and snow
Will carpet our surround

For months she will grace us
In delight and despair
