Having matured,

Paid him a dividend:

Wisdom!

black hair becomes brown

With incubus and succubus entwined
Coitus tactic - keep up the spellbind! 
The product of deep slumber - once matured, 
Zombie, encumbered on us! Rest assured.

Pains and sweat, the body is in need of a scratch
in failure’s holocaust, victimized in its catch
nearly giving up all and beg
then comes the matured egg
after much trials is the long awaited hatch....

Does a classical-band ever howl?
It has been said a classical-band’s odd.
Yet as the coarse strippers revolved
And the sallow evening faded,
A civilian said she heard the classical-band howl
When the lips of dawn had matured....

Growing up believing I am ugly
Never having anyone who wants me
But things changed as I matured
Developed a body with lots of curvature
You use to call me a real ugly dog
But now you say  my ignoring you makes you feel like your in a bog...

Oh, my child life went flying with wind
Matured when youth was still blind
Now waiting for my destined guest
Yes! when he cometh, my time will rest.

You walk fast 
New York,
Heavy stampede
Steps
The concrete ground
You stand.
I married you
In April,
Costly 
Earsplitting
Streets 
Awaken me.
Global breath
Aromas
Vibrant
Sparkling eyes 
Vanished evermore. 
I’m back,
We have matured....

I love women at forty
Because they too become snorty

Now whom to complain dear...
Equality expels all my fear

Forty makes you more matured
Love bond makes us endured

Now finding poetry in you...
Living poetry gives me cue

Only colorful storms
Shake my ground
Happy rain
Resets my frown
Sun is up
And now I’m smiling
Not upside down
From this air
I inhale 
Bliss
No more dreadful drops of rain
Creating a mist 
of terror 
The sky has matured
No longer gray
But quite a new blue...

It was 40 years ago today
She walked down the flowered aisle,
Tears flowing down ruby cheeks
She'd be married in a little while,

Through detours and windy roads
Since you wore that princess crest
Have caused our love to grow
Cos matured love is really the best....

The elderly are precious
Please let them know
Like a bud they have matured
Into a blossom to behold

Beware of the chill that folds the flower
It withdraws like the old
With a caress of warmth and tenderness
It'll unfold to become a Rose.

full and empty
like young petals that haven't matured
we must be pulled and ripped to detach
each movement sends fresh waves through the tear
white light, the purest intention, is released
growing now becomes a triage to save yourself
gratitude is bitter

In my deep thought,I yielded
To the midnight peace.
It shook  me with embrace,
Wrapped around me,
Like a gentle woman
That blinded me with kindness;
I my thoughts matured  on  
earth's surface
Venturing  into  the depths.
I closed my eyes and listened
To the midnight peace...

Destilled and pure
Scotch Whisky my favourite
Matured in old oak

Pure water from the Highlands
The scent of ocean and land

Destilliert und rein
Scotch Whisky mein Lieblingsgetränk
Gealtert in alter Eiche

Reines Wasser der Highlands
Geruch von Meer und Land...

Take my words
Gently
As a thorn-crested rose
Beauty
Shielded by doubt
Shivering
In its self-ness
Caress my words
As infants
Seeking
Sustenance
Toddlers
Tumbling
Over one another
Adolescents
Unsure
of their meaning
Challenge my words
That they
May be honed
Matured
Aged
In the silent cellars
Of poetry

The oldest patriarch in the close family 
Wise, historic, brave and a quiet shroud of dominance
I grew, I matured, I aged
He shrunk, he slowed, he aged
Age and frailty grew:  worsening health
He held my arm as we walked along
I was now the carer
He was the one being cared for
The order changed
The positions had swopped...

Slowly it comes- but then so fast it's gone;
sunshine-filled days, balmy nights-
matured from days of spring.

Too quickly those long days go drifting by;
so bask in that warm sunshine-
embrace the summer love.
