My old body – Sue Lobo

My old body is now telling me, it can´t take any more,

It´s saying very clearly, “It´s merely nature´s cruel law,”

In its greying, & groaning, I hark it´s ageing grumbling,

Within it´s creasing & creaking, lies it´s aching crumbling.

It says, “Give me tea & slippers, not oysters & champagne,

Forget expensive perfumes, just give me balsm for the pain,

Don´t give me evening soirèes, I have a much better choice,

Cocoa by the fire-side, now I hope you´ve heard my voice.”

My old body now wants comfort, & not the golden crown,

Merely flannelette pijamas, & not stiffened silken gown,

Please leave my old body be, in tranquility, & in peace,

Every little cell of it, every wrinkle, line, & tiny crease.

Vulnerable Hearts

“To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything and your heart will be wrung and possibly broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact you must give it to no one, not even an animal. Wrap it carefully round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements. Lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket, safe, dark, motionless, airless, it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable. To love is to be vulnerable.”
