Spanner Thegob Poems
In the mirror I'm shocked to see
An old man stares back at me.
Hair sparse White and thin
...
There is kindness in your smile,
A promise of things to come
A hint of 'in a while
We will dance to a different drum'
...
Inside I'm dancing!
In a quiet shadow of time,
memories gather like dust where old men sit,
...
In this life we are all a little bit broken
Grief transforms from torrent to flood, then to soft rain
to wash away things we were not meant to carry,
And all is reborn again,
...
time has taken my youthful Zest,
And in its place left age
and decay.
Experience has bent and shaped this frame into a stronger man.
...
Today i am your enemy.
But you used to be my child.
And where once lived love
indifference now resides
...
I stare vacantly and observe,
my world,
it's falling apart,
and I can only stare and witness,
...
The banality of evil
When we surrender the act of thinking
We lower the bar to morality,
...
Growing up, nurtured on the diet of happy endings.
Only to discover the bitter aftertaste of life's realities,
To learn life's cruellest lessons,
our darkest journey may not lead us to the brightest places.
...
SAPIENTA UXOR
Worn paths lead to comfort in familiar fading light
Aged bones find wisdom in grey hair
Wrinkles whisper softly
...
Deceptions
The heart sighs as silence falls with a deafening calm,
shadowy figures dance macabrely where paths meet to diverge,
...
REFLECTIONS
Look into those fading eyes,
Touch the spirit of an old soul,
Witness as it grows Heavy from the weight of loss,
...
Uilliam
I lost my place in the world And Lately
I am more afraid of sleep than dying.
There is no one left to wipe the tears
...
Between the pillars of my dreams and Dawns liminal slumber
I lost my place in the world.
My hopes began to fade until I forgot what they were.
My dreams withered and died
...
Peace lies hidden in an angry heart
And With Every angry beat you Turn away,
you always do.
...
F.T.W.
This World is full of trickery
And people who are greater or lesser than yourself
...
When Apathy took hold
Impulses slowed and became indecision,
Hope, fading like shadows,
retreats from the light of day,
...

The Best Poem Of Spanner Thegob
Happy Birthday To Me
In the mirror I'm shocked to see
An old man stares back at me.
Hair sparse White and thin
Covers tired Pallid skin.
Light leaving old eyes
Staring back with sad surprise.
Youth is spent as life grows dim
I turn away rejecting him
Fumbling in an old man's room
Lifting blinds to banish gloom.
Stub my toe. Silent yell
Leaves my lips' Ruddy hell'
In your wildest dream you say
Never thought you would see the day....
'4 score years and three
Happy birthday to me'

Spanner Thegob Quotes
You can lead a horse to water but a pencil must be lead
Outside of a dog a book is man's best friend, Inside of a dog it's too dark to read, Groucho
RAISE YOUR GLASS! To the quiet strength that blooms with age, For within the weathered heart lies a universe, And in those eyes, those aged spirits still dance.
Live now, take a chance, Be Not defined by circumstance.
Faded shirt, old boots, and me. all so much older now.
'Sleep child, time for sleep Dream of oaths we never keep'.
elevate the Disenfranchised To question what? And why? and living lies?
Where do we go when we want to sleep ? making promises we never keep, Into the realm of past content Where Lost years lament A youth misspent.
speak with care dear friend For words can wound if they transcend
reject Meretricious souvenirs of a half-lived life. Gathered, while not paying attention
