My very good friend
Cry not that we sometimes fight
For we will resolve
It’s for friendship that we stay
That’s why it will always last
'Twas very many moons ago
I was once a spry spring chicken
~ At least the hat survived

More than being good or bad….
be of interest
Good and bad vanish with the prevailing wind
—but interest lasts
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2018)
Smiling expression
Two hearts dream love at first sight
Sweet good night lasts long
Childlike innocence free of filters
expressing raw emotions of joy anger boredom
society's norms soon to censure

Lulubelle and Annabelle hats in hand
Found a magic fantasy fairyland
Wearing their fancy knickers
And matching party slippers
Frolicked unaware of nearby quicksand

Only a fake flower doesn't die
No need to water plastic
Or give it sun
No need to care for it
It doesn't care
Only fake feelings live
Lies last forever
Truth has an expiry date
Before it gets boring
Unknown to mortals,
is the time to depart.
For it is short but insightful,
It is fast but impactful,
Life,
with them tears and laughs,
joy and sorrow,it is purely finite,
for both the early springs and the grey.
A rare November day,
sunny and warm
with a brilliant blue sky
visible thorough suddenly bare limbs.
Brown leaves crunch,
laying the bed for winter.
Oak lasts longest.

Marry not as per the social rules expect
But if you are in love, you got to marry
If your love is real but don’t get married
Life expansion stops
Most of the girls fall in love, marry elsewhere
If the boys follow, will remain unmarried
Followers impossible to find in year
Two thousand thirteen
The darkness in my eyes
The calmness of my heart
Vanished into cold thin air
All crushed and fallen apart
My eyes year for it
And so does my heart
Feels as if it's all lost forever
Sharply pierced with a gall dart
Now I know
Now I understand
Nothing lasts forever
Nothing lasts forever
Learning His lessons at last
The past must die as the past
The future must never exist
So let the fates turn and twist
No time to berate and bemoan
Each instant is ever on loan
Right now is the now or never
Nothing but God lasts forever
*Inspired by Robert Frost's poem 'Nothing Gold Can Stay'
As you
go about
your journey
on this planet
you come
across things
you think
are permanent,
will last forever
But nothing does!
Everything fades away,
disintegrates into
the convalescent
extremities of the
duration of survival.
Great empires
are gone.
Life is short.
That's just
the way
it goes.
what if what we had was temporary
a momentary glance of happiness
of freedom
of joy
of reckless youth
a time of love and carelessness
maybe that was where our memory is supposed to stay
maybe it wasn’t meant to continue on into this decade.
Maybe the sun never rose up again after it set that summer.
Common little treasures,
lying still upon the shelves
or hidden in the corner of
of a near forgotten drawer—
all these surround me now—
brand new once and
gazed upon with fondness still.
Though scratched, chipped
and tarnished, each performs
its daily task—offering no complaint.
I love and trust them all the more.
As nothing ever lasts,
and everything must change;
you are here, moving fast,
as a needy counting his wage.
As you listen to all,
and talk only to few;
you will never fall,
that’s what I already knew.
As the summer coming soon,
and there is no need for you to crack;
you’ll be dancing Under moon,
as you are not getting back

A Life of Firsts and Lasts
David J Walker
Every second
A second later
Every second
Another day gone
Everyday
wasted on water
Every night
Stripped of light
A waste of
Wine and song
Every first
follows another
every verse
In past
Winters frost
Will count the cost
Of every calendar
Cast
A family tree together forever
bonds we would never sever
seeds sprouted the tree grew
seasons changed, came and flew
forthcoming years had no clue,
Cancer came making us shiver
older branches died and withered
death brought us much sorrow
leaving hearts numb and hollow
we're here today, gone tomorrow.

Her sensual walk can sway
with a subtle movements art
Her vision led me astray
heated and blistered my heart
Burning lips from hunger's abyss
melts away love's vaporous form
And expels each breathless kiss
upon trembling skin so warm
Tomorrow is a cold disguise
worn by my lonely eyes

Many memories have I beheld
all present and all knowing
a loving family I protect
within these walls, years flowing.
Alas, the bookends of time
came crashing down this night
devils danced in wicked winds
evoking scorching screams of fright.
Now suffocating, a flaming pyre
I perish, obliterated by fire.

For future far fetch,
That tarry true tongues...
Which wet worse worries;
Loose lust, love lingers.
But when it's lonely,
It keeps growing young...
Even doubt hurries,
To deceive fingers
That up cum wretch,
Shall draw such only,
To be treated whole,
Not turned injured soul.
For in loneliness,
Love brace silliness.
Can your intelligence
wound your spirit
Can your mind
entrap your soul
Can your hopes and wishes,
logic kill
Can damnation
be the toll
Or
Can a promise
wed tomorrow
Can the future
slay the past
A lifetime spent,
a moment earned
With love
—the thing that lasts
(Villanova Pennsylvania: June, 2019)
If you listen to my heart
you might feel what I feel
if you hear what I say
you would never walk away
do you hear when I tell you
to please be my friend forever
Even though we might be far apart
could you still be there
when I need someone the most
After all we shared
would you be there
even if we didn't last
We can still be friends
until the world ends
