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.
...

In this life we are all a little bit broken
Grief transforms from torrent to flood, then to soft rain
to wash away things we were not meant to carry,
And all is reborn again,
...

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.
...
