“ All Good Things ” ~ ne’er need end ~

 

Be too often penned,

That all good things

Must have an end,

Though I’ll dispute

Be desolate defend,

Of pliable compute

Serves but to fend,

Want bold resolve

Sufficient so to care,

Find place beyond

Fashions such its fare,

That all good things

Be an ne’er need end affair!

 

                             written in Montecatini, Italia

 

“ Perchance ” ~ magnanimous ~

In an effort

To be bold

I may’ve lost

The whole,

For now but feel

The cold,

And suddenly

I cogitate on old,

As tho too soon

Death perchance

Is trying to take hold…

 

Whilst we’ve to pay

Life’s wage to play,

Albeit times more

Than bargained for

The risk we take,

That fate may grant,

To suffer fools

Or bold lost souls,

If memory serves

Said fate per se

Magnanimous,

Be not its chosen way!
