The older I get
the more
I speak nature

A silence of patience
held
by assign

The hills
that we walk upon really
are waves

Mountains of whitecaps
hampered
by time

We dwell
in betwixt the yester
and morrow

Paying
forgiveness,
that we
tried to borrow

I tire of trying
to hold
on the river

Blocking the damned
that try
to deliver

Swells of the past
no longer now
current

Caveat emptor
fruit
of the serpent

Allow me to drift
in a rivulet
of realm

My wind is for
sale
to journey of helm

One of these days,
I’ll come home
to myself

And finally bury
the sadness
I’ve delved

I was born a thief
a robber
of reason

A collector of
leave
in a forest
of treason

My mother was fore,
my father
was future

The scars that divide
us
are forded with sutures

When we were young
these days
were so jolly

Now we are decking
with boughs
full of folly

A silent night
so tender
and mild

A saddened mother
missing,
her child

The present we wanted
was having,
each other

The here and the after
are,
sister and
brother

One of these days
when eternity
reigns

We will then finally
be close, once again


For my dear brother Ron who passed two years ago on Christmas Eve 2011

Oh Richy, I think you were extremely close to your beloved brother when you created this wonderful poem in remembrance of him.

You touched my heart deeply with your sensitive poetic expressions here.
