Couplets, of Rhymes and Repeated Heartaches

Couplets, Of Rhymes And Repeated Heartaches Deep, lonely and darkened, Life so goes with withering hands of Time, Gasping, harsh, slow drying winds, Blowing to create a most morose clime, Shivering, aching, and cold, Oft as lost as a river tumbled stone, Caring, sharing oft despairing, Listing dark deeds to now have to atone, Recall, repeat and rephrasing, Verses that somehow this poet's heart mends, Inspiring, expiring, firing, Ink words that predicts what future portends, Waiting, skating, and baiting, Fate to admit we're enemies not friends, Sifting, shifting and crying, That if love fails, life another one sends. R.J. Lindley, June 3rd, 1983 Couplets, ( of rhymes and repeated heartaches ) ( As Fate, chooses its victims with deep, and sadistic glee ) Note: Woe unto man and all of his sweet dreams Fate, deciding differently, laughs and scoffs tho' one may wade awhile, cool flowing streams such Life may with a Fated curse cut off.
