My Skin

My skin has grown to down right stark
The slightest burse now leaves a mark
For now my feelings cannot hide
They smote right through my walls of pride

How careful can a person be?
To keep the burse away from me
There was a time within my prime
But now that prime has passed that time

The fields are full of greenery
But now grow more to fantasy
Sleep and dreams are more a fact
More a kindness I react

Participation comes in spurts
Reminding me to stay alert
Those with kindness in their heart
That would I stay and take a part

But I am well along my path
And smell the waters of my bath

good morning Sy

the path has those darn burses everywhere...no matter how careful you are.

I'm all bruised up too, if that makes you feel any better.

Morning hugs, Mr. T.!

"But I am well along my path
And smell the waters of my bath"

~ Literally speaking, might I suggest you add some jasmine to those bath waters! lol

Please forgive me, Sir Sonneteer, for my silliness is just a mask for the sadness that I am feeling from all the tragedies that abound...

Wonderful thought provoking write as always Sy!
Have a few minutes for tea?
Hugs & Smiles, Nancy

Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that.
Something from the sea, whichever one I'm near.
When I stray too far from beachland, it calls me back

Wonderful words yet again my friend, we are all getting older and not doing quite as well as before, it has not effected your writings, they are greatly enjoyed by all Seymour and each day we look for more.

Take care my friend and be well.

Sincerely

OhDearestSeymour~

Your response - "Not sure I'd like another go round?" ... caused me to recall this write of mine~


Put This Hearse - In Reverse
~*Marge Tindal*~

Somber moments last recalled,
slow processions at best.
Once around the block,
then I'm laid to rest.

Driver, turn around this hearse !
Put the damned thing in reverse !
Drive back through the life of me,
for there are places I need to see.

Tour me through the streets of my life,
past moments of sorrow, on the corner of strife.
Let me know that I shone a light
into another's life that night.

Pull over to the curb of friendship,
for I am thirsty for another sip,
found upon the gentle lips
of remembered love.

A double drive through joy,
shared with another soul.
Youthful treasure standing
on the corner of rock and roll.
Put this hearse in reverse !
I've further back I must go !

Take me on a circle
through my wishes and dreams.
Did they really come as true as it seems ?

Take me down the avenue
to the arms of my dear mother.
Back where I began,
a child - a child - a child again.

Now, if you insist, we can proceed
to the appointed rendezvous,
where surely she awaits
to rock me gently in her arms
beyond eternity's gates.

Place one simple flower on this space
of grave remembering,
for to this final resting place,
what we were is all we bring.


Remind the others, driver,
lest we all forget.
Live and love the best you can.
One trip through life is all we get.




So, my dear friend, with that in mind ... once more 'round the block?
*Huglets*
~*Marge*~

~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost,
the spirit rejoices over what it has left.
- Sufi epigram <))><
