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,
...

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,
...
