All these Words

A take on the past with references to 2 personal literary hero's

All These Words

 

Of all these words

Held in my head

Collectively reminiscent

Of some

Dylanesque air-raid

 

Like splinters

From an old ship wreck

As sharp as any

Cohen razor blade

 

Nevertheless I hasten to add

She will eventually

Get bored

She will also grow old

 

And whilst this might be hard to envisage

Right now

 

Be sure to try and understand

The fundamental law

That time is not a real friend

Of anyone

 

 

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

Honesty is much more appreciated and otherwise appealing than bullshit and the mere desire to engineer a reciprocal review.... N

I shall not take issue with the loveliness of the poem, but will with the conclusion. Time is very much my friend, as it pushes me on, despite my tendency to linger, RL Stevensonlike, on the precious moments. The way ahead is hazardous, yes, and WONDERFUL.

Cor blimey guvnor, might I conclude that's at least a C+ then? All Good Things, my Friend, N

[Dean]

at least, dear heart

Cheers Dean, N

I like the end. And it is not a friend, certainly, to most, but to some of us we grow wiser nonetheless.

[Neville]

Some of us do but not all of us my friend... Thank you for stopping by again.. N
