Seventy
Three score and ten
years have gone by.
Where did they go?
Where did they fly?

Old friends are fewer.
New friends are more.
Not counting.
I no longer score....

Seventy Seven
Three score and ten

Where did they fly?

Old friends are fewer.
New friends are more.
Not counting.
I no longer score.

Seven years later
2 brothers are dead
Posterety has doubled
Are we getting aheqd?...

Premium Member The Thorns of Time
How gentle the thorns of time
Pierced and dripping we are
From within, fragile the skin
In the bracken bush hidden 
Akin, to the daggers, of Julius
behind opaque Curtains and veils backdropped On life,s stage plays ,
of maybe three score and ten.
"mor dyner y drain"...

Premium Member The Mirror
The Mirror Tom 7/13/2018 Each morning I face a mirror, And observe the fleeing of time. This tells me the end grows nearer, Than it was during my prime; The time I live on is borrowed, Three score and ten is secure. And an extra nine was bestowed, Whatever today brings I’ll endure.

Loaded Dice
she'll wake me up
she'll take me there

don't need plastic...
don't need a gun...

need no deposit...
my only one...

three score and ten...
breath the nearer 
in the morning

rock me...I am shakin...
breath the nearer
she heightens' my response

I take you...I take this woman
I am totally in love......

Premium Member Who Are We?
Who are we?
When fame and fortune flicker,
Falter and fade.
Will any remember?

Who are we?
As the paraphernalia pale and
Reputations no more enthrall.
Will any recall?

The sum of other's memories?
Or is there more
Days of yore?
More yesterday in store?

Is this all then?
Three score and ten!
Or can life go on?
Does love prolong?...

Premium Member Born To Die
From our mothers womb
came we to this life
live three score and ten
experience joy and strife

Life’s end will come
our body will work no more
then death is our ultimate
our closure of life’s door

God’s book tells of judgement
asking us for our say
if take or reject his love offer
will be our word on that day

So born to die are we
in this life that’s me
born to die is God’s son
to make God’s salvation done

Purple Flowers of My Adolescence
Purple flowers of my 
adolescence
   Gone now - gone forever
  Outside my window 
young girls play hopscotch
Taxis whizz by 
Young lovers embrace
   Getting lost in the humming metoroplis 
is a good way to eliminate angst
The biblical three score and ten years
is not that felxible
    Purple flowers of my adolescense
Gone now - gone foerver
   Still I see images of them at times
in the eyes of certain strangers...
