it only takes my best lines
to show you my worst
i casually ignored the rest signs
and unthreaded a messy curse
if only i had listened then
the difference i’d know now
a relatively alternate when
some day some way some how
it only took a quick look
from where everything was up
no tempting in the emptying
of another spilt and spoilt cup
if only plays the memory tease
digging on the randomly obscure
a rapid fire synapse breeze
a flood of past times to endure
it only drips at quiet times
a soft pattering behind my eyes
simple slips from bright times
and inner dialogued sighs

Tea set by a suffragette
Pankhurst is a name well known to the history of women’s suffrage. Who hasn't heard the name Emmaline Pankhurst, founder of the Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU), an all-women organisation campaigning for the right to vote? The group that helped to achieve the right to vote for women in Great Britain and Ireland in 1918. Some know of her daughter Christabel, both being honoured by the Pankhurst memorial in Victoria Palace Gardens, London, right next to the UK Parliament buildings. Sylvia Pankhurst is notably not included in the monument. Why? Because she split with the WSPU to campaign against Britain's entry into First World War.

The journey of life. Some of us, don’t know how to take the shortcut but the hard roads of life.
Wow this was something else - great read!
We just cannot stop wondering. We have no control over it. Loved your poem!
"If only" is the haunting bugger that keeps us up at night. Great poem.
