Most of my friends
now live far away
except for the one
for whom I moved
closer to be near
he him that one
has known me since
college and I like
a pension is his
to keep to spend
and to enjoy throughout
the rest of his
and my life he
and I being both
besties and our retirement

Ages
Having acquired most
and experienced more
I am left
now to wonder
is this it
I’m done traveling
to distant places
exploring new cultures
learning new lives
I’ve had tragedies
and my triumphs
and now I
wonder if life
at this age
belongs to reminiscence
and why then
if that’s so
is life cruel
for the gaiety
that youth was
should never be
remembered just as
this now old
age back then
could never ever
have been imagined
life you should
not make one
age responsible to
ever even think
about the other
Love#347
Love is
as love
does and
never as
love wants

What does time do
you asked drowsily warm
next to me watching
it snow time goes
and after a while
you asked sliding slowly
into your own slumber
where does time go
moving closer I replied
that I don’t know
Needling
This life of mine
is but a series
of needles the eyes
of which I must
pass through each time
humility makes me smaller
until at last I
will simply disappear becoming
something else entirely unimaginable
