End Of The Line
END OF THE LINE
Caution for hopes may easily
Expand themselves interminably
And without astute management
Arrive at that terminal station
Known as disappointment
Possibilities
POSSIBILITIES
Relationships
(And communications)
All too often
In time degenerate
(Or become enmeshed)
Into game playing
There are ways out
(But not always taken)
Alack and alas
Another Another
ANOTHER ANOTHER
Reaching out for …
… no response
Left in limbo
Hung out to dry
Fed on assumptions
Clutching at straws
Mighty thin gruel

Better Safe Than Sorry
BETTER SAFE THAN SORRY
Wear my heart on my sleeve
Come hell or high water
I’ve learnt over the years
Better to go short sleeved
Mea Culpa
MEA CULPA
Life is singing you hear
Hear music in your heart
But when you try singing
You find you’re out of tune
Memory Lane
MEMORY LANE
I quite like
revisiting
ancient haunts;
lightly caressing
the memories evoked.
I learnt long ago
the foolishness
of regret,
of expectation
