As time passes...

Torned and wrinkled

I saw your face brighter and brighter
I heard sweet voice like music from heaven's
I looked your strong and healthy and sexy body
I fantasized we both in heaven counting stars

Now your face is wrinkled and sagging
Your voice i hear are just harsh noises
Your body is wrinkled and useless
And you walked slowly trembling

Fantasies and dreams are vanished
No Desire tobe in heaven counting stars
Vision is blurred and dimmer
Oh God! Is this the meaning of life?

Age certainly feels up but then makes damn sure we are aware of its presence in our every waking hour, from invincible to invalid in the blink of an eye.
Nicely written sir

sorry for laughing but I am now at the wrinkled sagging end of life
'HE' should have arranged for life to proceed in the opposite direction

Sure, Thank you friend 😊

Perhaps one's head will become lighter after they've arrived at the stage of acceptance, but that one seems to be not there yet. The willfully crafted realization of one's terror and fear of physical losses are truly in ways, disturbing and rightfully done so. I see the work has a stalking sense of melacholy to it, much like what you'd expect from some instances from Shakespeare's plays. Quite a marvel it is.

This isn't funny and yet I find myself laughing. We grew up feeling invincible like superman but life creeps on us and eventually steals our youth. Like kryptonite, life drains away the things we cherish the most. Our youthfulness, beauty, strength and even our wit is taken away. We face reality and realize how childish and unrealistic many of our earlier dreams and fantasies have been. I enjoyed this piece.

It is a shock that day you wake up and realize you are old; it’s a bigger shock when you turn over and find your partner is even older.
