The Window of Life

[shoeshine 10]

I hope you can make use of this contribution, coyleys.

 

"You'll live for now!" the doctor said

Standing at the end of the bed.

"No worries then?" I replied

Hope is truly eternal?

Sorry for the delay SS, but as I said this verse is really the answer to a previous verse, I thought if I wait someone will write a Prequel, but it is not to be, so here's my offer.

 

We start to ache, we start to pain

Dreaded thoughts run through our brain

We see the doctor once again

A quest for equanimity.

I love this and how everyone can participate... heres a couple

 

But with passing ages, life's simplicity has gone

Technological superiority lives, click click switch it on

Addicted fingertips tapping from dusk until dawn

Life's rule is swift information

 

From HD to Blue Ray must have larger screens

Compatable to wirless so all must be seen

Complete access to all areas are the must means

I long for the pen and paper

 

Nice one Bassplayer, I'll post that tomorrow.

[coyleys 10]

Thanks coyleys. I wasnt sure if mine was any good.

 

possible retiremnt verse?

 

A comfy chair to rest my bones.

Want a clean bill of health and a warm home.

My children now have kids of their own.

The joyous circle of life.

 

Yes this is another good one from Sheppo, but I think this needs to be an answer to a pervious verse, let’s see what we can come up with.

[coyleys 10]

How about this one? Any better suggestions?

 

Pension day, it comes to fast

Silver threads in the looking glass

Creature comforts that’s all we ask

Humble at heart

 

I think what we need now is some on Marriage, love, maybe the regrets of an infidelity.

The glories of childbirth, the first step, the first word.

Our tears when we watch them walk down the aisle.

-------

Well here's a start.....

 

A chanced encounter, sweet music played.

We danced to a ballad as our bodies swayed.

Exchanging glances, no masquerade.

La graine de l’amour.

Blind Faith Psychosis.

 

What is it then that makes them pray,

that makes them creep and crawl all day,

that makes them read some silly script,

their pride and confidence slyly stripped ?

 

What is it then that transfers their minds,

to heavens and angels and spiritual kinds,

to attend Cathedrals in little groups,

then dress in robes as exemplar troops ?

 

What is it then that makes them build,

on fertile land where food was tilled,

huge Mosques, and Cathedrals too,

just to sing and confess anew?

 

Does it help in anyway,

to wile away the hours of day,

dressed in best and on their knees,

praying to anything and making pleas?

 

Is it selfishness that makes them think,

we all need them to cower and shrink,

on our behalf at their request,

so that our souls be sublimely blessed?

 

The whiff of selfishness stirs the air,

I think it’s just themselves they care,

the work is easy and less to think,

from competition they wilt and shrink.

 

This God they advocate with fuss,

when ask for proof they won’t discuss,

O proof, O proof; what for you need ?

the devils home you’ll go with speed.

 

My lucid mind begins to stir,

I’m in the hands of a blackmailer,

I only ask; for what your sales?

they came back as hard as nails.

 

So business then shall prevail,

In Woolworth’s by an honest sale,

the Church an inquisition me thinks,

proof of God surely brinks.

My sons stare impotently at the door

Inevitable death

When broken heart means time well earned

And balding head means ignorance spurned

And pot belly means lesson learned

Lucky am I

[hearlon 10]

The ring slips on the married hand

And all my friends around me stand

I'm taken forth in the gold band

Sweet union

[coyleys 10]

Great stuff Hearlon.

Give me a couple of days and I will incorporate them into the main.

Nice One.

[Ron Blanco 10]

my effort Coyleys...

 

A love presents that offers hope

Eschew the world, escape, elope

But such love can dissolve like soap

A wound beyond repair

[coyleys 10]

Nice one Ron.

I'll get on with it.
