Tarnished words I speak aloud make me seem boisterous and proud,<\/span><\/p>\n

Often a ringing loud in my ears fools my speech into speaking loud,<\/span><\/p>\n

Prices getting high on everything I see processes things I don\u2019t know,<\/span><\/p>\n

Wondering out loud how long I\u2019ll be around and if my gait\u2019s too slow,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What a wicked thing life does when age overcomes who you were,<\/span><\/p>\n

I\u2019m a drifter now not of the wandering type but when thoughts stir,<\/span><\/p>\n

Youth\u2019s dreams of grandeur left my head as the hair color went white,<\/span><\/p>\n

My sanity remained not of clarity but who it was holding me at night,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

People I know look the same but remain someone they want to be,<\/span><\/p>\n

Time is gone, the time has past us by, its time to pay can\u2019t you see,<\/span><\/p>\n

Deliver yourself to be reviewed as judgement falls upon actions now,<\/span><\/p>\n

Every little good you\u2019ve done will count against the ill wind somehow,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I\u2019ll be delivered into paradise gates with the angel I wed walking near,<\/span><\/p>\n

Her ticket of return to the group of angels best I pray will let me clear,<\/span><\/p>\n

Did the best I could but it seems darkness was too much to overcome,<\/span><\/p>\n

Ran a race of a hundred surgeries to stop bleeding but I never won,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Made love this morning for two hours to the girl I still love and adore,<\/span><\/p>\n

Exchanging desire for passion pleases my soul into loving her more,<\/span><\/p>\n

The dues I pay to be at her side are worth the price in pain every day,<\/span><\/p>\n

A kiss is worth a thousand blows from iron man\u2019s hand that I now pay,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Regret is a worthless rag when I beg for a million more blows in pay,<\/span><\/p>\n

Her kisses will bind my wounds that I can heal in a miraculous way,<\/span><\/p>\n

As people gather round to hear poetic rhymes delivered as a request,<\/span><\/p>\n

I kneel on purple knees of arthritic bend to ask her hand for times test,<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My pledge of allegiance to her is \u201cbeneath full moons my love will flow\u201d,<\/span><\/p>\n

Said aloud in a deep voice \u201cyour beauty is of an angels heavenly glow,\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Singing in the pouring rain, \u201cwaltz with me across the clouds of snow,\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Atop the clouds we\u2019ll dance \u201ca seniors final dance with the one I love so\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
