my fingernails are treacherously filthy
not merely dirty
disgusting
they have hardened and yellowed
old age is a yell

Chasms

That seemingly uncrossable chasm
Between youth and as old age
Is all too easily  bridged 
As tomorrows become yesterdays

Fossilized

There are things in this sphere
that are painfully clear.
My memory has fled
bottom's like lead.
Alas, old age is here.

the greatest lesson I've learned:

another New Year's Day 
has arrived.

Old age is here,
it caught me by surprise
as I turned the page

Oak

What I miss at this old age
is sitting high like some tree sage,
in a stately southern oak
not thinking of being rich or broke.

The
whimpers
of childhood-
echo in the
mind,
remembered,seen
as yesterday pictures
without perspective,through a lens
close-up.

Premium Member Ugly Little Poem

Old age has the edge over youth
It's not the other way around
Old age gets youth in a headlock
Then, with wisdom, slowly chokes it out.

Freedom of Truth

Born alone, die alone,
Only union in marriage.
Truth as such is fathomed,
Only then will one be,
Free from bondage,
From now till old age.

Empty House

Have I lived 
For so long 
Only to die
Of old age,
Alone in an empty house.
