NEIGHBOR

..
He has closed the door
And hid the light
The sunny sky
Or silent night
..............Gone alone
..
Does he sneak outisde
Every day or every night
Find a silent friend
Or simply make it right
.................Currently alone
..
From where I sit
To read and write
My ancient legs uncrossed
I never see a movement
In - out - or dancing glee
..

AGELESS YOUTH

..

Counting years has naught to say

Of Sad or Happy days

'Tis only fears of loss

With nature as the boss;

Of untouched plans

And painful, shaking hands

Whisp'ring "NO".

..

Unsung songs of "do it",

Restless dreams of joy,

Pictures of far places

With handsome unknown boy;

Old age lost in dreaming:

Youth's eternal glow.

Crying "GO"

ANOTHER FOOT

..
As I limp, creak, creak,
......Clumping down the hall
I recall
......My used - to -be
Chiropractor; wicked hands
......And Shining teeth
"You", said he, in profess'nal glee
....."Are put together
With string and a rusty nail!"
..
Yet he, - he-he
.....Is not around to gloat
And cry "you see!"
......To limpin', bitchin' me
At 83!

LOST BUTTONS

...
Some people think
My buttons are lost,
That thought is a life;
I simply don't think that high.
..
I just quietly say goodbye
To purpose and pizzaz,
Oh-oh, could it be?
Those buttons were me?

MY RIGHT KNEE

..
Where is it that I don't walk my talk?
Or, more honestly perhaps,
Where is it that I do?

PAIN

..
The color of my heart
No golden light;
It's murky depths reflect
My life.

UNAPPRECIATED!

..
When the spirit moves me
And I shout "it's a rhyme!"
The busy world around me
Is breathless, rhythmic line
And all my well-trained wisdom
Forgets the needs of time
As I sit with pen and paper
Babies cry and doggies whine
Too bad the stupid printer
Never prints a world of mine!
