Through All Our Years Together
By Franklin Price

Through all our years together
Was so glad you were my wife
I can't imagine otherwise
What would have been another life

We loved each other equally
Satisfaction when we'd mate
Sometimes we'd even argue
Then...

red lights blinking rapidly 
I didn't make the connection
as soft music floated unseen 
from cars heaving with undulating motion 
gentle, rhythmic, but forced upon 
as ruby lips pressed into service 
with legs spread wide, most...

A smile. It's hard to tell whether that smile 
is genuine or just masking a plethora of 
secrets. The sparkle in your eyes suggests 
honesty, but the whites of your eyes are 
stained with tiny...

To see her blog, adorned with pastel tones
Widens the gap that pervades my bones
For now we eat her passing meal of plain white rice
Leaving us all alone, without much needed fashion advice

Jack and Jill went up the hill

This was never in dispute

It was how Jack fell down

With severe lacerations to his crown

Jill had a bun in the oven

The news was all...

a microwave steak and some potatoes 
sit gingerly on the tray, crunchy and frozen....

It's 5 P.M., a bottle of room temperature beer
cuddles itself...

Like the mediaeval skirmish, defeat with stale dismay
Adjacent to every dwelling the silent donor plague;
Masquerades of scarlet doom as those who pass away
Unhygienic circumstance with umpteen reasons vague.

Black Death buboes mystery and evil stench of...

Blood Clot and Boycott

Rather than crossing lines and boycott,
We did have a drink  called blood clot,
And then hardened;
From jail pardoned;
After we would finish it, hit the spot.

Rain washing wet
Exit humid heat;
Bamboo pines sway

~~~~~~~~~


Weary estate
Rustic and ancient;
Old people pace

~~~~~~~~~


Orchid stalks
Crystal flower vase;
Beauty adorns

~~~~~~~~~


Class reunion
Familiar faces;
Change intervenes

~~~~~~~~~


Old-time movie
Once upon then;
Romantic poise

~~~~~~~~~


Property market
Doldrums percolate;
Prices go south

~~~~~~~~~


Precious moments
Fragrance lingers;
Touchy feelings

~~~~~~~~~


Red light district
Pretty birds ply;
Ancient occupations

Rainy weather
Stay indoors;
Talk to myself

~~~~~~~~~


Dusk dark drowns
Eyes strain to see;
Sudden light blinds

~~~~~~~~~


Sexy brisk walk
Lady of the night;
Stuff of dreams

~~~~~~~~~


By kerb side fringe
Strange gathering;
Motley persuasions

~~~~~~~~~


Ancient occupation
Red light district;
Pleasure parade

~~~~~~~~~


Exotic night fare
Moonlit sonata;
Rapture...

the banes of hell my portion must be.
If cloud nine is a bordello,

Short shorts skirts and spike heeled shoes

In the Red light District of your town

On the darkened street corners

There's pleasures of the flesh to be found.


Blondes, brunettes and redheads

Working girls they are.

They earn their living selling...

Silly rabbit tricks are for prostitutes, made by establishment
daunted by economy, at night by the dawns early red light district,
watch the women give up their pride by the hour, lacking positions

Amid her degraded miserable  life
in the red light area
she hummed the songs
of  the  hindi films;
looking at her image  in the mirror
dreamt  herself  as  the  heroine

Do you feel it too
    You know, the graying of Halloween

  For several decades it was all the rage
    for Sonny-and-Cher-like adults, whatever their age
