The Warning

Bright pools of
Clear-sky, clever blue
Stranger danger
Who are you?

Mountains and plains
Reflected in your eyes
But I don’t want to
Say more goodbyes

Two rivers that meet
Two paths that cross
Confluence and dichotomy
If I let you in
You could mean all this to me

Commonality and synergy draws you
To me
But
Fun and excitement
Are never free

At the threshold again
Of passion’s strange stage
Caught at the crossroads
I argue the toss

Hard yards have shown
There’s no way home
These winds of change
Will also bring conflict
Pain and loss

So it’s at an end
Before it even begins
Because in this game
My friend
Nobody wins
