no hiding old age

grey hair peeping

from under the fashion colour

can’t hide old age

ruination

 beauty unsurpassed 

not much of a gift

more of a ruination

 

a mindful moment

faded mornings

children huddling to school

a mindful moment

it’s the loneliness

age doesn’t scare me

but the loneliness it entails

fills me with fear

airplane poetry

sitting in an airplane

looking at the fleeting clouds

wanting to write a haiku

summer

cold winds blowing

I sit huddled in my quilt

waiting for summer

I am

childhood fun

relationships of youth

make me the person I am
