'Til Death

I'm ancient my life
       packed neat in boxes
       in the attic
       by my wife
       for my final heartbeat
       and my burial
       in our plot. Send the lot
       to Goodwill to be forgot.

Not with years.

Afraid

Afraid

Like blood slowly
ballooning into a tiny orb
from a pin *****.

It simply swelled
and bulged…

As it clung precariously
upon the tip of my nib.

A slight tremble,
almost a hesitation -
seemingly afraid to take
the leap of faith.
Afraid to take the plunge,
only to wilfully break
the expanse of blank parchment.
Afraid to taint the whiteness
with the ruthlessness
of indelible black.

Bury My Wounded Heart at Goodwill

Bury My Wounded Heart at Goodwill

I'm ancient
my life
packed neat
in boxes
in the attic
by my wife
just waiting
for last breath
and my burial
in our plot.
Send the lot
to Goodwill
to be forgot.

Memory Fades

Memory Fades

You chatter away like
an angry squirrel,
I watch you scamper
off and finally resemble
a fading flower.

Here's a link to my you tube channel where I read my poetry from my recently published book, Rise Up Collected Poems and Short Stories. Available on Booksie.com
