Don't get me up tomorrow,
Don't bother to set an alarm,
These days of boredom and suffering,
Have lost all of their charm.

Gloomy day

In this sad
And cruel
And lonely reality,
A gloomy day.
«When you look yourself in the mirror these days,
Tell me: What do you see?»

Wisdom lies in the grave

Born  frail
Through my wonder I wander and  become pained
and rover subtly these days 
Time polishes my brain,
Wisdom lies in the grave

VERBAL ATTACKS

What is with the
Verbal attacks on women
Is it jealousy because
Women these days 
Want more
Out of life and a
Career of their own

Don’t ask me 
To write a cartoon on Islam
Write a cartoon on the Ku Klux Klan
Or on Diana’s car accident
You have a better chance to survive

Too bad practically no one these days has a three-dimensional mirror.
She would not wear those form-fitting pants if she could see her rear.

Eyes glisten heartless;
These days I think whispers fade,
In my heart wounded.
Lost memories lay down now;
A blown kiss lost in silence...

A job defines bits of our life
Though it often causes us strife
We’ll find a new fit
If we choose to quit
And not slit our wrists with a knife

Premium Member First Romantic Verse, 1960

Quiet night.
Quiet love...
Never told.
Damn my silence.
Wish you understood.
All I am is you.
I feel such a fool...

And fools are cheap these days.

Ask help for certain Mortal Angels

These Days

Some days should seem
Somewhat carefree
And yet I carry 
This weight with me
Of memories hidden
And childhood lost
Insight is gained
At such a cost

Pirate Queen did not appreciate fame.
She did not like her notorious name.
She wanted to bed
Without having wed.
These days this was not an accepted game.

Now And Then Culture

Those days, pray
    before wake up.
These days, cellphone
    before wake up
Before, love letter
    to court a lady
Now, just text
    and have a baby.

Grace

JESUS
Grace is much needed
In these days and hours
Times in sorrow
Obstacles and issues.

Grace, I need
Please, please, please
On bended knees.

Grace.

Need all of the needed vitamin supplements and more,
Because my own diet can nowadays be oh so poor.
