The sequel is rarely comparable

to it’s original runaway success.

The day’s first cuppa, so drinkable,

whilst the second, not as good, I confess.

 

 

 

 

 

 

When the first flush of romance is over

and a platonic friendship ensues,

it’s often more powerful and stronger,

as to each other, for life, they fuse.

 

 

 

 

In our midst there are many in trouble,

disguising their sorrow in various ways.

Against the backdrop of day to day living

lies a rawness that lost love betrays.

 

 

 

 

 

The hostility of gnashing fangs,

as on a thread, their romance hangs.

and once the roller coaster starts,

the exposed rawness, to all, one imparts.

working her way

forward to the

moment when

permanent unity

would be the order

of the day, but

until then, her

suitcases weren’t

allowed to gather

dust, nor aching

heartstrings turn

to rust.  

 

 

 

 

 

She did for Sidney what

she should na aughta,

and accepted readily

the gifts he bought her,

and all was well til the

wine turned to water.

What a valuable lesson

old Sidney taught her.
