X,Y and Z

the wheel of time spins without control, and soon enough we'll find ourselves sitting on the bench being old and helpless if we regret our wasted youth.

the map of remorse reflects its Coordinates in the mirror.
"argh ............those spear like lines that had conquered my lands of youth!" he screams silently facing the mirror
the affluence of beauty and charm are buried now
they are buried now!
 beneath the depth of those creased lines, they are buried now.
HOARY, DREARY ,WEARY
those are the X,Y and Z of remorse he sees in the mirror.
"where is this youth elixir crap I read in books ?"
he screamed loudly facing the mirror
"I'll find me an alchemist, I'll find me an alchemist, may he'll make me one "
the ruthless spectator of logic laughed sarcastically
to the pointless charade arguing :
SPEAR LIKE LINES! you said it yourself
elasticity does not get replenished

better to enjoy youth while it is available than to end in regret...

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

It's not the looks that count, but the feelings of the heart that keeps us young. Thank you for this inspiring writing, Latifa. :) Rudi

[Latifa]

exactly, the looks doesn't matter, what I try to convey through this piece is the regret some people have when they don't get advantage of their youth, getting old comes with its own leverage but sometimes it can be the era of regret and remorse of our wasted youth that we didn't use :), thank you for the review .
