each day I lose my yesterdays -
each day I rejoice.
For what are they
but chains that drag?
Backward
going nowhere.
I've seen things -
harsh things.
Heard venomous silences
beaten by suspicion
castrated by indifference.
Each day I forget my yesterday -
sweet blessed release;
so,
I can embrace today...

My Twilight
For Mrs. J Now is the twilight of my life the shadows overshadow me. A few stubborn rays cling to the gray hairs that adorn my crown. Eighty-nine years. I have travelled far, seen many wonderous sights. Felt life pulsing in, around, between through me. When I cannot see you as you are I see you as you were. What a sight! When the light get's too bright I sink in the shadows and glow with stories of old. Now in my Twilight.

But the breeze... I squeal! I reach! Pure delight. Midway I freeze... Oh no! my steam! That Je ne sais quoi... Gone. now, how, do I dance with me?
Unbearable Loss
Withered hands on withered lands infertile with blood. Snipped bud attract carrion crows they move slow but seem to know the marching dance of loss. A knife twisted the attempt and the deed defeats us. A river forged blood let blood washed all guilty brainwashed by decaying dreams and nightmarish bliss accuses us all: how much did we know?
Just Because
Just because I could I did and now I wonder why? But I wish I knew why before it falls a part.
Time
