Rope a Dope

Granny’s words like a blue bell ring true
How you get him is how you’ll loose him too

Playing with words phone sex as clarinet cool
When the reed becomes dull what will you do

When the instruments become familiar ground
Will pink passion be still fashion of solid ground

Are your high hopes and gropes like rope
Enough room to breathe enough room to choke

If a relationship is built only on sex, it is doomed to disappoint and even failure. Thanks for sharing this one with us. Sara K

Relations can be positive or negative. Our lives should always be positive.

Very unique pen, I never wanted a relationship to be the immutable so to speak. Men are too fickle as are some women. So speaking only for me, a relationship is like a flower.. it has its season, read Wordsworts..” Splendor in the Grass”, people do find.joy in what lays behind. There is nothing to fear ..all you need to do is love someone fully and be genuine. It will work or not, nothing to lose. “ those go looking for love will never find it.” Pangie

Lol then all the world's romantics are doomed! lol I believe in love but feel pressured by a certain gentleman calling, So perhaps I am not ready or he is not the one!

Grandma's words sound so very right. When we get something, unless we are careful, we are likely to lose it. Well written Karen.
