Some see gray hair
as a sign of dismay
a show of old age
or frailty
but as for me
its a badge to see
worn with pride
for all I survived
in the games we play
along the way.
I know more recently
than I did without these.
I no longer need
a rule-book to succeed .

That new leaf
You claimed to turn
Looked just as unsightly
As the old one
Although
I only caught a glance
While you blew by
Yet again.

He looks up with oceans in his eyes.

***** hair mussed from a drunken sleep.

He cries out, reaches to touch.

I drown in those oceans.

Oxygen gone as he squeezes so tight.

"You're here, you're here!"
"I'm here, always"

But I'm not. I'm gone.

Swept away by oceans, kept away by heat.

Hot, too hot.

I need a drink to cool down.

Sipping salty liquid, its stings. It's wrong.

But I'll sip once more and forget.

Lost in those beautiful, glorious oceans**.
