Augustus

Carpe Diem

I can barely seize a minute

          as many the day.

Age reaches its limit.

There is will but no way.

 

Comfort replaced by pain

Singing in moans and groans

One or both legs are lame

Porosis of the bones.

Skipped beat cardiac cycles

Bod organ recitals.

 

Sight sounds different now

My time empties the clock

It\'s face looks me somehow

My faculties to mock
