Love with you would be a challenge- Always "tete a tete". Jab and cover, thrust and parry, Every time we meet. Word games, yes, and mental snares- To trap unwary foes. Destruction in our every coupling Adding to our woes. Till at last, the love we cherished, would turn into hate. And the things we'd sought had perished, We'd realize too late! Once again, our lonely vigil- Like some brooding mage... Would continue through life's twilight, As we sit and age. So the wanderer, salutes thee- Maiden, in thy web... I must not tarry til the morning, Lest my life span ebb Every second one is granted- Upon the dial of life... Must be cherished, and enjoyed, Not be spent in strife. Wilt thou take my hand in parting? Spare me once a dance? Let us drink to love now gone, That never stood a chance. |

The last twelve lines are a poem in itself. Were some to be that honest -up front- many would never have to feel the heartache, pain and confusion of ~never had a chance~, but didn't know ahead of time what the attitude was...... But that is part of the game of love and there are no guarentees..Not learning to by-pass the instant lust and wait for genuine love has been everyone's downfall at one time or another. This is thought provoking to say the least. And very well written. Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons..
