Along life's path --some crap dished out

The ups and downs , the twists and turns
Paths unwinding to infinity.
Carrying surprises along,
some happy some not.

Life warns us of losing something,
warns us time and again.
With incidents changing us,
changing the very self we were,
to adapt to its whims and fancies,

But sadly man realizes ,
these warning signs.
Stays connected to mortals,
fellow men and seducing fairer ones.
All that matters is the journey,
So love and let love go.

When we two parted by Lord byron

When we two parted
In silence and tears,
Half broken-hearted
To sever for years,
Pale grew thy cheek and cold,
Colder thy kiss;
Truly that hour foretold
Sorrow to this.

The dew of the morning
Sunk chill on my brow--
It felt like the warning
Of what I feel now.
Thy vows are all broken,
And light is thy fame;
I hear thy name spoken,
And share in its shame.

They name thee before me,
A knell to mine ear;
A shrudder comes o'er me--
Why wert thou so dear?
They know not I knew thee,
Who knew thee so well--
Long, long I shall rue thee,
Too deeply to tell.

In secret we met--
In silence I grieve,
That thy heart could forget,
Thy spirit deceive
If I should meet thee
After long years,
How should I greet thee?--
With silence and tears.
