On Parting

Parting is sweet

It guarantees you meet

All over again

And there is an "again"

And a "nothing to rhyme"

And a "till another time"

There is a greet

And a rising heartbeat

Sitting at its feet

There is more to say

On a brand new day

Something of a "hold sway"

There is always a song

And a favourite line

And that which could be

A "be mine"

Then there's the unfolding

Of the old and moulding

After much withholding

There is some charm-ing

And some more disarming

Till it gets alarming

And the doors lock down

So that after lackluster

Right beyond mundane

Just another "same old" away

There is another parting

Starting

To guarantee you meet

All over again
