Affinity and Moods

A road I chose, led me onto a tightrope,

Miles whereon, did I travel, with certain hopes,

Knotty it was, at several points,

Threatening to break, at enfeebled joints

.

Aye, lauding myself, for my nonchalant spunk,

I kept persevering, revelling in blind triumphs,

My sprit indomitable, my legs unstopping,

I set out to break, an unaccomplished bourn

.

Nothing’s impossible under the sun, I’d perceived,

For only fools give up fast, the wise never quit,

And often priding on my tenacious nerve,

I had savoured the adrenaline rush of this swerve

.

I traversed on and on, over this lonesome path,

Unchaperoned, unattended, a solitary lass,

Only to espy, at some zenith, in shock,

It’s a forever, queer voyage, on a rope that perpetually rocks

.

Time slipped, there was nothing left to gain,

The journey, had nevertheless, resulted in mere pain,

It was here, at this juncture, I settled on a stopgap,

I climbed off the rope and embarked on a beaten track

.
