I concede and accept life's end
when and if the body looks dog-eared
and your perception wanders
along the exiguous corridors of the brain
yes, I agree it is time to let go
when the essence has been caught up in a draught
so severe it terminates once vibrant
marvels of the mind
and desiccates what is real for what is illusory
in this case what remains
is a shell of what one was to one disassociates everything
and everybody
invalidates all which had made
life significant and with meaning of importance
at this point
we're reduced to our former primitive self
as we undevelop into dementia prae-cox
concerning our once friend God
who we find . . . with great delight
is even stranger than us
but unlike us
He gathers all the kudos

Thanks, Kat, I admit I'm pretty much on the dark side these days.

Dark it is my friend, but I too like the last line. Have you tried writing anything on the silly side lately? I'm an advocate for silly and laughter is the best medicine kind of thing. Here is ia hug to brighten your day

Thank you Lori, for your comments. Actually, I thought yesterday's poem, "The Man in the Moon Outed" was a silly poem. Maybe your definition of silly and mine differ. I'll try to do better, thank you again for being here and your suggestion.

Hey, it's what comes from you.
If it seems a bit dark, so-what!
Your thoughts expressed in poetry,
that's what is important... you
expressing you.
I say write on!!

Enjoyed, my friend.

Love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul,and with all your mind. Love your neighbor as yourself.

I hear you, JL, but Lori is right I think, I need to balance out these dark themes with a bit of humor. Thank you for reading and commenting, buddy.
