What is Wrong with This Picture?

This picture of me
This 'Dorian Gray'
only the picture
don't change
I do!

All the grief
anger and tears
the shadows
the evil,
all pretence shows
But not in the picture
before me!

It sits mockingly
in gold leaf frame
all young and pure,
while I...
am surrounded
by material substances
Ageing un-gracefully.

The BEE GEES
 
On the TV screen,
it's been awhile
since they graced our
shores with smiles.

"Words are all they have"
they sang, but we all know
that's not true.

Spics and Specs
they became for a time.
While in our hearts
their songs lived on
in memories
of younger days gone.

Professional Aussies,
still True Blue.

SLOW MOTION PANIC

Running on and on
heart pounding
getting nowhere
all in slow motion
as the nightmare
raced on and on.
