A Saturday Morning Rhyme

A Saturday Morning Rhyme

the skin starts sagging

the brain starts lagging

filtered life

of selective attention

with little or no retention

but love still touches my heart

even as we are forever apart.

you speak well of aging… and everything begins to sag, except our love and our hearts, until the beating stops…….your description of vivid words makes this scene so upbeat….
nice!

Those hearts do take a pounding, but for some reason do not burst when full, no matter how it feels that they do.
The rest of your words I recognise too Jacob...all too well! 😃

Jacob,
The thing I like about little poems is they sparkle like diamonds, double-refractive with unexpected flashes of color...
This one will get me through the day...

That's beautiful, jacob erin-cilberto ...

Started off a little bit negative but the ending was awesome.

Thanks for sharing.
