Life is like the piano; what you get out of it depends on how you play it.<br /> It&#039;s the good girls who keep diaries; the bad girls never have time~Tallulah Bankhead.<br /> &quot;Everyone knows that there&#039;s no such thing as a cat owner.&quot;

He loves me not,
He loves me.
Gleaming flower I had brought,
from an endless sea,
of a sunshine-caught,
yellow pansy.

Working up my courage,
I inch toward him,
choosing a passage,
that was new to the brim.
His face gleams with dotage,
‘I love you with all my heart’, I grin.

His smile erases,
My eyes flooded,
with salty tears.
‘I love you not’ he chortled.

Never again will I respect,
or imagine a blooming flower,
in the way one expects,
a pansy to unravel amour.
