glad to still be here.......

Grey hairs
Lonely
Lovesick
Worried
Many thoughts
Fewer talks
Fewer hopes
Fewer friends
Less will to live
The only thing
That keeps me going
On the zigzag way of life
Is the desire to be loved....

Ghost of the past
memories so clear
will always last.

Friends so dear
some in far lands
some gone I fear.

Youth slipped away,
grey hairs flowing
on my head today.

Ghost of the past
lost in time somewhere,
time went by way to fast.

Blood and bone
A colourful black and white
On brown dust

A feast for flies,
Merry making for vultures
And dinner for hyenas

Yet, peace unto souls
For in life, diversities
But in death, unity

Grey hairs declare
"Better a man inexistent
Than one with the breath of life."...

false confessions
toppling earth
stretching lines
of false freedom
about to be broken
expressions sliding onto
waiting red
unhurriedly
dogs meditating
on the long winding
roads
illusions of space
confessions
of the sins of
omission
our grey hairs
are turning
black again-...

You capture me with your radiant smile 
Hearty bold laugh impassive and vexing
Little grey hairs in your barely there beard
Needling your chocolate chin for years
Your artistic style and fashion sense
In a suit that could pay purple rent
Of course you write and to my delight
You include me in the story of your life...

Orchid buds are soaked in the stream alongside the hill,
Mud-free, among green pines the sandy path lies still,
In the nightfall drizzling cuckoo calls sound chill.
Who dare say that an old man can’t rejuvenate?
The river past the temple turns west in the ultimate,
Don’t sigh over the grey hairs and become a degenerate.

Sue peers in the mirror with fright
Her parting’s a terrible sight
On top of her head
A badger - it’s dead
Sue must use some hair dye tonight!


She’d applied hair dye carefully
Grey hairs Sue can no longer see
All the grey is now brown
She no longer feels down
And styles her hair prettily

grey hairs in addition,
and it is all my fault
yeah, i used to blame everything for everything on everything
it only caused me more struggle
that knowledge gained, i chose truth and a mirror
when i did, i went to work and STAYED THERE
now over a decade later, i am a kid at heart with pom poms and a luggage set
i have become quite the novice vacation planner....and it is all because of the struggle...

I sense some roughness, grey hairs strew
jagged eyebrows, jagged view
Lord, let me sense the pure of you
and all forsaken, is brand new!

A line now centered, frown's adieu
a grimace bent ~ toothless review
unholy glaring at construe
what made this fetished look of stew!

Some troubles notice, worries mew
a smile could hasten face's renew!
Oh, heart please chasten, comfort true
this look replace, with hope's redo!...

I know the upbeat feeling of a mother today
Humankind invented this day
A special day
God knows our sacrifices
Our love is cherished
Nobody could have been surpassed
We long our life could never passed 
Grey hairs are symbols
Of worldwide significance  and proofs
Your sweetest love and virtues
Are forever ours
Children and grandchildren love you
MOTHERS, God has made you
A priceless GIFT from our Almighty....

What makes your smile cold?

On springtime colors bold?

Hummingbirds croon from afar

Wilder than tambourine,

Thrilling the night’s  gauze sheen.

Come, pluck the tangy guitar

Dance a belly-go-round,

Before grey hairs abound---

Be the chant of life’s bright star!
