There Are Some Rooms From Childhood

There are some rooms from childhood
That I still freely roam;
Though to some, the doors are locked-
And they are not quite whole.

We circled the clouds, like we owned them;
We pawned some hours, left lying around-

The Eye Of The Beholder

Age keeps its withered fingers
Hovering over the crown of your head,
While October runs away like
Retrievers scenting a fox, somewhere

But the clock keeps on ticking-
Oh delicious mystery,
Where do you keep the keys?
