Re: Failing Memory? Not me!

My Generation

“I’ll never grow old!” at sixteen, said I -
My mantra The Who with their wish to first die.
“It must be hell to be thirty” I grimaced at twenty;
My skin all aglow with future a-plenty.

At thirty I cried for my teenage excesses,
For the start of the end, first grey hair, grown up dresses.
Was that a wrinkle? Did I need cream?
Not youthful, not old, a hybrid between.

At fifty my head told my heart – “middle aged”.
But cruelly, my brain just refused to engage.
Inside, I could still hear The Who’s rebel yell
To be out of it all, to break the “old” spell.

I count off the years, disbelieving, askance.
Ever closer that something, that scary last dance.
But you know what? I hope near the end, my adieu -
My last dance will be danced to that song by The Who…

Re: Failing Memory? Not me!

IT

There’s Something in the corner of the room –
I sense it, lurking, crouching in the gloom.
If I look, then It goes,
But I know that It knows
That seeing It will bring about my doom.

There’s an Evil, hiding darkly out of sight,
Creeping ever nearer in the night.
There’s no way to prevent,
For It will not relent –
And I hear It chuckle softly with delight.

There’s a Coldness ever growing in my room,
A coldness emanating from the tomb,
And the blackness gathers strength
As the shadows take on length –
And my terror stricken eyes will watch It loom.

And now, tonight at last, I see Its eyes,
And the menace that Its ghastly smile belies;
Its hot fetid breath
Brings a portent of death …
Now It’s here, and there’s no time for cri..….

Re: Failing Memory? Not me!

Apologies if I've already posted some of these. I've been trawling through old stuff. Hope you like some anyway.
