old man's poems <br />written from a distance, <br />time and experience demand... <br /> <br />aged like good whiskey, <br />taken in sips, not gulps! <br />hang like clouds at sunset, <br /> <br />can burst into violent storms! <br />make love to the soul long and slow, <br />simmering o'er the fire. <br /> <br />weep with sadness like slow rain <br />in the night where no one can see.... <br />written in stone like an epitaph, <br /> <br />an unmarked grave on a forgotten hill. <br />howl in the darkness like a lone wolf, <br />whisper like a child's simple prayer.... <br /> <br />all too often smell like an old man, <br />rocking in his chair in an empty room!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/old-man-s-poems/
