Speaking as one who is

cursed with impulse,

I know the horror it can create,

when seemingly harmless

devilment, in seconds,

devastation can make.

Oh, it’s you!

I had quite forgotten

you’d be here!

Don’t expect that I’ll

wave a white hanky,

or raise a glass in

good cheer, but for

the sake of these  

here present, let’s

air kiss, and away

from each other, veer.

 

 

 

 

 

One acts in a certain way

to compensate for the other.

That’s how a worrier becomes

the dumping ground, for those

close by, who just don’t bother.

No need for touchy-feely stuff

No need to step out of line

A union of minds can be enough,

when two hearts as one, combine.

They weren’t competitive enough,

they had no hunger or fight.

Inside of their stomach

was no shark-like appetite.

 

Too laid back, they were,

even complacent, I guess.

If they’d ran a much tighter ship

they could have avoided the mess.

When cornered by the truth,

on him, silence like a blanket fell.

When a raw nerve was exposed,

he turned and ran like hell.

The trouble with shooting from the heart

is that the chambers only one way dart,

and once the roller coaster starts,

the exposed rawness, to all, one imparts.

Way back when Adam was a lad,

if you had six pence you weren’t half

glad, and oh what joy did a shilling

bring, whilst half a crown, meant

that you were king.

Don’t you just hate imperfection

An unfinished job lingering on.

A niggling fault that comes to light,

long after the workmen have gone.

 

Don’t you just hate imbalance

revealed by a spirit level out of line.

To other people it looks precise,

but to you, it’s anything but fine.
