An Ode To The Seniors Recently I have met two charming senior ladies. One of them, seated in a wheelchair, would smile broadly and wave at everybody she meets at the Taiping Lake Gardens in the morning. The other, who sells lottery tickets at the market, is friendly and vivacious. Their zest for life has impressed me. As such, I have decided to update a verse that I had previously written. Dusk is here. The day is done How the years flew, one by one Memories linger where once was fun Will I be here to face tomorrow's sun? The silence so desolate since you are gone The emptiness numbing when I'm all alone Tear-stained pillows to greet the morn' The nights are long and the sleep, forlorn The will is lost and the spirit, low Who is there to hear my cry of woe? I'm still hurting, the pain runs deep In the still of night, for you I weep For you my love I shall be brave Thus I will delay the peace I crave I guess I'll stick around for awhile To greet everyday and everything with a smile A life worth living is one with zest One pregnant with joy and no regrets One which has nothing but only the best "Oh yes my dear. That includes sex" Go find a friend; go find a mate Go find romance or even "get laid" To find your destiny, you have to tempt fate So tonight my darling, would you be my date?  Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past |

Ha ha. If not for the missus and Oldboy, yeah I would be inviting you. Maybe not, there is still buddy. I am fine, thank you. I didn't write for sometime because Kublai refused to leave. You know Kublai; he does not know how to write. He only knows how to fight.  The poems section does not seem to be active at all. What happened to Artful and you and the rest? Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past

Hi Flakes, Huh? Nostalgic? You are chatting with summerlane too? Hmm, I have to be careful what I say to both of you now. Otherwise, I may be reported for abuse. I have already explained that the poem is inspired by two senior ladies who, despite their predicament, are happy making friends in the Lake Gardens or in the market. They don't moan or whine or feel sorry for themselves. That is why I decided to update my old poem (the first verse) which was done some time back when I was feeling "old". The first three verses which are "very sad, very painful and very lonely" are inspired by the blogs here which are done by us. Go ahead. Read some of the blogs here e.g. "If I could reach you" by summerlane.  The last three verses are inspired by the two charming senior ladies. Be positive and live life to the fullest with no regrets. Live today as if it is your last For tomorrow will soon be in the past

Visited your blog for the first time and am really impressed. You write well and able to inject the feelings into the poem. I have started to join in the fun of commenting as encouraged by you previously but will not join in any feud, only compliments.
