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,
...

4.

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.
...

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

A heart, chained to loneliness,
imprisoned in unfaithful compliment
bears testament to imagined accomplishments,
...

Battle over,
War is done,

Death,
...

When did I get old

Dying changed nothing,
Life is pain,
...

Fed them rebellion
To accept their fate.
To become a hellion
We Taught them hate.
...

In the bleak midwinter Nothing will grow,
Earth is poisoned, beneath the snow
Cadavers unclaimed lay cold on the ground,
And whisper to heaven without a sound,
...

Nevers goes anywhere?

Never goes for a beer?
...

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

13.

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

Elegy for a born loser

Penniless,
he staggers from the bookies,
...

My world can only bear so much
Pain, heartache, and such
Misery as only the soul can tolerate
While Suffering heartache, from a crushing weight
...

We live in a time of deceit, lies
Live Where Truths hide behind innocence. Cries
Fade into the shadows, as the deceived embrace
Untruths in a wicked place,
...

Inside I'm dancing!

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

Death Called
and the spirit left as a whisper on a breeze.
I did not hear it,
But I do not fear it,
...

Take me home.
Home,
where the heart is.
Im old, and I'm tired.
...

In the quiet of his room, he sits alone.
laughter lost, smile undone.
The world moves on.
The Walls echo with whispers from the past,
...

The Best Poem Of Spanner Thegob

Happy Birthday To Me

In the mirror I'm shocked to see
An old man stares back at me.

Hair sparse White and thin
Covers tired Pallid skin.
Light leaving old eyes
Staring back with sad surprise.

Youth is spent as life grows dim
I turn away rejecting him
Fumbling in an old man's room
Lifting blinds to banish gloom.

Stub my toe. Silent yell
Leaves my lips' Ruddy hell'
In your wildest dream you say
Never thought you would see the day....

'4 score years and three
Happy birthday to me'

Spanner Thegob Quotes

You can lead a horse to water but a pencil must be lead

Outside of a dog a book is man's best friend, Inside of a dog it's too dark to read, Groucho

RAISE YOUR GLASS! To the quiet strength that blooms with age, For within the weathered heart lies a universe, And in those eyes, those aged spirits still dance.

Live now, take a chance, Be Not defined by circumstance.

Faded shirt, old boots, and me. all so much older now.

'Sleep child, time for sleep Dream of oaths we never keep'.

elevate the Disenfranchised To question what? And why? and living lies?

Where do we go when we want to sleep ? making promises we never keep, Into the realm of past content Where Lost years lament A youth misspent.

speak with  care dear friend For words can wound if they transcend

reject Meretricious souvenirs of a half-lived life. Gathered, while not paying attention
