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'
...

Take a moment.
And from the breath of day
Reflect.
Love the flaws,
...

Our greatest fear?
to be forgotten!
Like a child,
misbegotten,
...

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,
...

Inside I'm dancing!

In a quiet shadow of time,
memories gather like dust where old men sit,
...

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.
...

Let's feel sorrows embrace,
Collide in shadows, face to face
In tears we find solace
Two souls
...

Sorrow,
can be lonely.
Heartless, unkind,  
Through tears and broken hearts it shows
...

Elegy for a born loser

Penniless,
he staggers from the bookies,
...
