The passage 
narrows 
as I incautiously 
wedge onward. 
At this stage in the game
do I still have to worry
about finding the way back?
Why can't I 
just let the days lighten, darken, 
terminate?...

Cruising in my pickup truck

Seems I might be out of luck

A semi with a heavy load

Just ran my ass off the road

I wonder if he was aware

I doubt he even saw me there

Not much to do at this stage

To help subdue my growing rage...

I’d never written a poem before,
I couldn’t seem to find any themes.

I’d gone on the web to inspire me some more,
Looked at rhymes,and memes.

My mind was blank and I stared at the page. 
I really just don’t have the knack.

I might as well just give up at this stage,
And I put the notebook back....

49 Years 2015
Return again for fortunes sake
to live without frills and pay our bills
But thats just the nature of our times
So here we are at this stage of our lives
slowly approaching the golden span
our extended families fading away
when someday there will be just us two
and our children will hold the banner
to move the Sergi name unbound

Do hard times causes trials?
Do hard times causes vexing, troublesome?

Do hard times causes sorrows?
Do hard times causes worrying?
Hard times oftentimes are stepping stones of one’s reverence, beliefs, and tests oftentimes one may perceive their alone at this stage the Most high has
Our hands directing one’s passages in disguises confronting trials in hard-times....

Time wings by
Flips lost page 
Heed odd sigh
At this stage


Purge old box
Tales now dim
Hoax de-tox
Feels calm slim


Angst blames jest
Purge sad strains
Blot wise fest
Hurt brines pain


Pain knows gain
In harsh truth
Not in vain
Just for proof


Odd lines surge
In vain lot
Watch nice urge
Merge with thought

Known by many as a Shih Tzu
All by itself, in it's own cage
One is a zoo, could it be true?
I know what it is, at this stage

All by itself, in it's own cage
With a cute little smashed in face
I know what it is at this stage
They are the same, the breed and place

With a cute little smashed in face
One is a zoo, could it be true?
They are the same, the breed and place
Known by many as a Shih Tzu...

o it's I'm 
the essence of love since birth

with the love 
I learned everything
by following

now it's me
at this stage of love
understand that
without love
none can live lively

because
God created
His every single creation
with His merciful love 

let's, learn how to love
let's, learn how to define the love by heart
let's, learn how to seek the God through love in humanity

I woke up early this morning
And didn’t know what day it was
Until I walked to the kitchen
And spotted my pill dispenser
Sitting on the oaken table
Placed there by my loving wife
Before the angel left for work;
Looking at the seven day-marked
Cells just piqued me at that moment:
To think at this stage of my life
A pill box is my calendar.
I looked at the empty cells marked
“S”, “M” and “T” then realized
That this morning must be Wednesday....

41 Years 2007

Now more than ever the past engulfs me

as time is  closing in and the  memory 
is fleeting

but I’m still not ready for that final meeting

To dream more often and to wish for the best

So here we are at this stage of our lives

combating isolation  and to flow with the rest

we should try to be happy  in lieu  of  being sad or mad

the clock is ticking faster and time is now our master

just try and remember the good times...

Empty thoughts  loiter in his mind
 As  new words he tries to find
 But shackled by an absent muse
 No words come forth for him to choose

 His wizened face now wears a frown
 And the cartridge of his ink has dried
 He searches the silence for a clue
   But it fails to elicit a response

 His mordacious muse now prefers
 To leave him without a horde of words
  To trifle with him at this stage
 And leave him with an empty page
                            ..

Close your eyes a moment, breathe in deep
 clear your mind of all the noise and dream of sleep;
listen as my heart beats slow and steady
 leaning on the memories, unexpected delights at the ready;
mark the years, some forty nine well shared
 oh what an interesting image we paired;
don't say a word, none necessary at this stage,
 your smile enough, embrace of youth,  joy of old age;
love and time is all we ever needed in life's run
 meant to be and for me, you are still the only one....
