Man of Sorrow

A gruff antediluvian man sits in sorrow
health draining slowly like a withering grass lawn
glory of past fantasies full of opulent luck
nothing but pages on the worn books of life
a false poem that was never a reality in truth
now another holiday spent in solace at low tide
cursed from martinet style of parenting
an outcast family deterrent in hiding
no love to accentuate his frail spirit
as he sits alone with past regrets.
