Is It Old Age

Is it old age 
Loneliness, ill-health
Or the long cold
Winter nights,
That fills the heart with sadness.

In a Poor State

In harmless joy spent
Her eyes showed no fright
She became discontent
Her heart felt the sadness bite.

From the start she was of ill health
In life she struggled without wealth.

Insignificant Never Mother and Child

Insignificance!
Is not a mother who has buried
Both of her young boys
In the space of 2 years
To ill health
And the deafening silence
That prevails in her house of cards 
Her toy less baron back yard

Pride of Place

That’s all I have left of her,
Ill health first came to mar, 
It made its journey like on tar,
Sadness and grief mixed in a jar.

Far apart we were when she bid farewell,
When the last chime was made by her bell,
This portrait is all I have to tell, 
That nightfall is sinking well.

Amber alerts won’t find you
Diction slurred because you use
Drugs enough to kill you dead 
Indigo soul please clear your head
Carry your heart to the Son
Two bullets shot from your gun
In denial that you need help
Onyx crack smile and ill health
Not even your child can make you care

Premium Member Prose Poetry Youth

Confidence of youth,certainty of self untarnished by reality,
time or ill-health.Swagger without substance,energy that cries aloud
for the skies,a shootingstar across the heavens,bright and fast to fade & disappear,such pace cannot last.Beauty of youth,lost in a sigh where
yesterday’s dreams wave goodbye.

SHOOTING STAR
Confidence of youth,certainty 
of self untarnished by reality,
time or ill-health.Swagger without
substance,energy that cries aloud
for the skies,a shootingstar across
the heavens,bright and fast to fade
& disappear,such pace cannot last.
Beauty of youth,lost in a sigh where
yesterday’s dreams wave goodbye.

Karmic debt unpaid

Three score and ten
Round the next bend
Best pick up a pen
Against lies to fend

Truth told, raw
Good, bad, all
What you saw
Ere your call

The body slow
Mind, spirit too
Vice, virtue show
Sins, denied to rue

Karmic debt unpaid
So little time, left
To fast track the said
The burden to heft

Cultivate body, mind
Transform the spirit
To cosmic laws aligned
Ill health at last, quit

Wiggledy-Jiggledy
The legend Imran Khan
Trying his best__ to bring
The stolen wealth

The Mafia is strong
Spirituality
He adopts, to improve
Country's ill health

Premium Member Sweet the Greet

For My Billy-Bro, Who Endured a Difficult Journey
For decades he lived on the street with no bed or food in cold and heat. My bro was the first break in my heart. He went thru all bi-polar can impart. I prayed God would unite us one day. In time, ill-health and age made way for a united residing under my roof. For three years we lived sibling truth. God answered my prayer complete; in sight, then hugs ... sweet was the greet!

Dad's Faith

DAD’S FAITH

At the end, there were too many days
And dust, not from his own plodding.

The warmer memories of his best days
In ways fell past; now there was nodding.

I’d heard of those with greater faith,
But had really nothing to compare;

Ill health had reduced him to a wraith,
Though he didn’t much seem to care.

Spring stood empty, but the sky held clouds, 
So the cold rain came as no surprise.

He left us bereft, memory enshrouds;
I can still see the faith in his eyes.
