Fab, Feisty and Sixty (ish)

keep your eye on the door watch or you may miss it awakening from the cloud which is motherhood I felt stupor and numbness I was disinclined to rent the energy required to salve and save the tattered remnants of our love we began with open eyed fervour and launched upon this climb together with passion and humour lusting and drenched in our ardour we melted through nearly four decades together bound by need and discovery fueled by expensive taste and wine our langour misplaced amongst offspring and  the 9-5 cut through our vigour believing that destiny had  bound us my assumptions were cheap presumptions worthless, moreover intentions must be actioned or else rendered invalid living beyond our means we became drenched in the greed of spend cutting losses and running for the border brought peace and renewal ultimately disillusioned at our lack lustre we trailed deep footprints of disappointment, gnawing silently at our very foundatio...
