terrible light dimming in my heart!
Come back! I would rather live with agony
than be dead to love!...

     With storms to heaven tremble

AN EPIGRAM


A whole lot in brevity
With most heavy gravity.

sometimes it speaks volumes
if one listens
to bodies'

***************

I asked my Mother if
She would like 
A new camera for
Her Birthday...
      ------
She told Me that
She was 71 years'
        Old
And don't need any
Pictures' to remember
Her either....

Since 
You’ve been gone
I can’t write hardly
As good with no love
To inspire me
I feel less blessed
But still I 
Hold my regrets
Like a sign to bear
That you were here
(from the book ‘I Love You… Taylor Swift’)...

my arm is tender
my leg is sore
hobbling and limping
shall I tell you more?

my ankles are killing me
dual arthritis you see
each step down
brings a giant frown

I’m falling apart
a pain in my heart
seventy-one
is no fun...

flesh
flesh
flesh
flesh
piles of tons of flesh
and I have only 71 kg and something shakes me
pushes me to do things
without the hesitation
free to choose the words
and I realized
that is a big squandering
in all this flesh....

Tangled puzzled thoughts
Like thirsty roots seek solace
By liquid waters 
Murmuring serenity
Flowing to eternity

Quatrain #71:
STOP


Stop for a while to feel warm poise,
Touch a bold style that keeps firm voice;
Opt for sure pile as truth sparks clear,
Prime on swift miles beyond all noise.

why,
     why so sad,
reflect on..
       where..
we 
    are ..here..
today:
each day
follows    
      another..
yesterday..
is as a
     passing cloud.
t'ward
      t'morrow

inspired by Clip of Beethoven's P Sonata  8 (2nd movement)...

Singer,songwrter and piano man
We,fifties teens remain a fan,
Classically trained,a musical chameleon-
Oh Carol,hungry years, took him to Amarillo
But never,solitaire,this brillant Brooklyn fellow.

Tribute to Neil Sedaka ,71  years young this year...

that which we hunger for
our appetite is huge—

They shot anything that moved,
anything filthy and poor.
Down with the proletariat!
The Prussians played cards
and praised red French wine.

They passed round the Vodka,
The Russians played cards.
Down with the aristocrat!
Lambast the filthy rich.
They shot anything that moved....

 I keep my heart
my soul in my chest
I look for nothing else
I praise my God in the light and dark
I keep my heart full of joy
And my mouth fill in with His praise
O' God, you are my hearts light

Hollering Baller

Stub my toe I holler
Sweaty neck and armpits, perspire
Fall down bruise my knee
Can no longer crawl
Was a basketballer
Does any or all of this matter
Hurt toe
Sore knee
You wonder why I holler
Was a game of one on one
Score 37 to 71
I loss the game
Guess that means I'm not a baller
