Headstall's Reflections - 67. Chapter 67 Foggy Windows
*
Foggy Windows
The mists of time do coalesce
Unnerving me, I must confess
As scattered memories converge
To swamp me with a visceral surge
And logic will bow before emotion
As tended walls fall despite devotion
Bringing on a ferocious onslaught
Of things long buried 'neath well-cured rot
The baggage section has quintupled
From each and every lover coupled
Alas with none left by my side
There’s no safe haven for me to hide
Looking back, love proved not enough
Daggers to the heart fixed on my cuff
Regrets aren’t worth a copper penny
Though their numbers weigh as many
Declining years, it’s the course I’m on
With the gift of time decreasing each dawn
But, perchance there’s a reason for timely fog
Allowing such sorrows to slide back in the bog
