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.
...

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.
