Destined to winter
There are many who have wished it
To walk life by my side
But the years with me
They take there toll
What they once felt slowly dies
All my charms, my looks and smile
No longer fill their hearts
Our dreams and hopes cannot stop them
Yearning for a new start
Now I'm in my autumn years
Like leaves my charms they fall
The many who have once desired
Don't glance or wish at all
My spring my summer days now passed
The autumns on it's way
Destined to winter all alone
Until my dying day
The future once would never come
Now full of yesterdays
I played to much in the sun
I should of made some hay

Enjoyed reading your poem, time does seems to slip past way too fast, but remember summer always comes around again :)
Great poem, thanks for sharing, Colin. Thank goodness character (unlike physical appearance) gets polished and more robust with time. Nice moment of reflection, Simba.

Thank you Colin !!
Your comments really make every word I write worthwhile, and I feel honoured that you take the time to read my writing. whether or not it deserves such praise I don't know but you really give me so much encouragement to pick up my pen.
Thank you so much and I truly appreciate any input from that you so generously give.

Love your style of writing because it is so pure and spontaneous and it always comes out of your beautiful heart and noble mind.
Well it's time to make you famous so I will post , link, and share your main introduction/bio page on the one and only Facebook to hopefully gain you some more friends and fans (like me)

We had a lovely sun this morning with warmer air but the fog has rolled in off the lake with cooler temperatures
So right! Luckily I lived and very long very rich life. Live, live, live... while you can.
I can relate. Most of the poems I've posted I wrote 20 years ago!

Hi Faith, thanks for dropping in and reading it kinda is a pretty inward piece I have to admit, but not really how I'm feeling
Love Simba

I can relate to this Jon. Everything will work out in due time. Love will come again when you least expect it. You have Savannah now. That's a dream come true right there. Only good things to come from now on!
Very well put as to one's youthful look gradually disappearing as we age, but one does not have to be alone. However, I do understand what you are saying here in this honest look inward of oneself poem.
Voted up +++ and sharing
God bless, Faith Reaper
