Should I not

or should I?

and do I

know why?

No time for lament

to the heart beauty beckons

flowers smile in fields

Am I not more

the cause of my own suffering

than that occasioned by

others or any other human being?

We will all grow old one day

and many are at this stage already

the hours are rushing away

slipping into the edge of eternity



but solace your love shall give me

my heart weeps and the right words I can't say

I recall our days of youth we spent so rapturously

to sleep in peace now is all that I should pray

The genius doesn't have

         the skills of the plumber

         when your toilet is stuck

          you'd choose the latter

I've no reason to frown

just because something doesn't suit me

I'd not offend anyone who's around

that would be travesty!

Silence in the room

music, books and coffee

such great company
