It Only
it only takes my best lines
to show you my worst
i casually ignored the rest signs
and unthreaded a messy curse
if only i had listened then
the difference i’d know now
a relatively alternate when
some day some way some how
it only took a quick look
from where everything was up
no tempting in the emptying
of another spilt and spoilt cup
if only plays the memory tease
digging on the randomly obscure
a rapid fire synapse breeze
a flood of past times to endure
it only drips at quiet times
a soft pattering behind my eyes
simple slips from bright times
and inner dialogued sighs

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

The journey of life. Some of us, don’t know how to take the shortcut but the hard roads of life.
Wow this was something else - great read!
We just cannot stop wondering. We have no control over it. Loved your poem!
"If only" is the haunting bugger that keeps us up at night. Great poem.
