In adolescence he created 
the myth

That untamed
—devoured him

The days are long,
Everything is new,
Love’s took for granted,
And death has yet to brush against you....

Seed before dawn
Youth and adolescence by day
Adulthood and geriatrics by evening
Seed before dawn again!...

a spice of madness-
                           flavours genius
as in ageing bodies-
                           adolescence lives on...

The wide-,eyed gaze of childhood
innocence,lost by adolescence
optimism destroyed,by realities of life;
experience lined in majority's grin
likeness reborn in program's kin....

Brilliancy of Autumn 
in leaves of amber rum 
a wood plank memory 
swings into our story 
I recall the essence   
of our adolescence

Children fill in leaking emotional cracks
in home and family's nurturing support
with blind lies of eternal ever after happiness
grasped quickly
before adolescence turns down their light....

A schoolroom
of my childhood
my mother's heart

 My shy adolescence
her tender warmth
purified

My present success
her new pride
glorified

Spring, Summer, Fall, Winter.
Birth, adolescence, maturity, death.
Sowing, seedling, flowering, harvesting.
Idea, brain-storming, action, reflection.
Inspiration, composition, rehearsal, performance....

A cause; much like a child, is always lost.
Until it is sought by the will to seek purpose. 
Reluctance to find meaning in so, has shown light upon the world. 
For we blindly boast of our blatant adolescence....

Swirling down from a dark sky
Stars that flicker by
We twirl in adolescence
Hoping not to die
Living by the grace
Smiling at benevolence
Her warm loving face

a fly buzzed
the clock 
             stopped,
the scene
       shifts
adolescence
         awoke
with a start:
the ordinary
became
    fantastic..
I was
     never to be
     the same
           again!...

Dazzling
Day-dreaming
Eyes
Entice

Golden hair-beams 
Create bizarre streams
Adolescence
In extravagance 

Nasal nostalgia 
Owing chionophobia
Spin 
Her ivory skin

Precognition 
Finds recognition
Harmonized skies   
Romanticize

The ancient men of letters spared no efforts in studies and
Their feats were derived from hard work since adolescence.
The knowledge acquired from books seems rather superficial,
A thorough understanding comes from your own experience.

virtue squandered 
beneath the gibbous moon
the feign of innocence
a burden to bear

daring to imply guilt
the jealous called me out
bothersome adolescence
who will miss you

I rest upon my shovel
bothersome burden buried
angelic virtue restored
beneath the gibbous moon...

Nostalgia hides within the hopes
Of the present
Sours as it passes
Tucks itself into cerebral
Alleyways
Lingers in fitful dreams
Grows as it ripens
Ignites the trembling torch of
Ageing's adolescence

One girl among a throng—
	no, declared her swaying hips,
		to woman she had bloomed—
Whose pert young face I’d never glimpsed
	(until that instant,
		from mall’s bench)
By passing, merely,
	eyes so bright
		and sweater shapely,
Touched off a vestige
	of youthful years
		and adolescence lost....

Strong 
Dark
Resilient
Ebony 
Towers
Spreading up through history
Budding off new members like leaves
Hoping to make it through seasons
Birth
Adolescence 
Middle age
And the cold of winter
With white hair on our heads like snow
Until we fall to the ground 
And join our roots
In the ground below...
