SUBSITION

Submitted by Esker on Thu, 2016-01-07 00:32

Like the waves
the green sunlit waters
licking like great tongues
the afternoon beach
the late revellers
the merry go rounds
and the last day of sales
for the ice cream vendors

a small cheap bogie board
my mirror shades
U caught your reflection in
"I look like a dirty boy"
how U had the best lines
How U loved me and I never
trusted
always tested

everyone judging
the moves
jealous
of your beauty
I was the beast
a mind full of clockwork
and experience

a world turns and crunches
its numbers
its suppositions
and superstitions
and we gather
near each other
and fall into the old
routine like this
(two pinky fingers together
arms about each
hot tears falling on shoulders)

the ancient order and the young
whom can tell the other about
how to live and let to and be
free.....

I like that our distance is like
the mirage...
whom is the watcher
and whom is the lights
twinkling

we said.....I see U
beautiful and wonderous
and U said
I now you worship me
out there in your movement
alone and howling

and this
this is good enough
to call Love
and when we meet
we gather for our short moments
shorting off intel
and time together
before its swept away
in the tides....

the one and only muze

The feeling is familiar. I once was the ancient order. ~ Gee

I hit a dating site.....and found twenty somethings here in my city
almost hung out with them
then instructor to after care groups...almost went to vacation coftage
with them.cottage with them....we are not ancient
the trophy wives I remember well
when I was in my thirties
and then in my forties
the youthful exuberance
embracing my still then youthful enthusiasm and vigor
might be snow on the roof
but there is fire in the basement!!!!!!
ha

I had a car in high school and in towns
i picked up the girls
they showed me the make out spots
everyone wants the passion
the fix of love

even in cyberland I am meeting
all
just a matter of creative writing
....

my appreciative audience
physical and cyberal
ha

ancient it when U are gone
order is alive and throwing
insight to the newbies
and trust me they want it
they want the edge
and I got the edge from them
on the up and up to keep hip
..

how it goes....

glad U get it
cause I do
and Im not far from the mod squad
the youthful crew

they would be proud to hear that
from me..

thank U

happily married, but in my job, come into contact with a lot of women. The only ones that seem to show any interest in me are the really young ladies [ten and under] and the elderly ones. [Older than 60]. LOL ~ Gee
