1 " No-one saw her pinch the girl’s armMaking her wince in pain and cry outMore than once, an agonising clout "
― Soulla Christodoulou , Sunshine after Rain: A Collection of Poetry
2 " You do not see what I seeHow can you when all you do is use your eyesBut I look deeper and further than the deepest oceanI notice the frown lines and the smile lines "
3 " The same hopes, dreams and wishesDeep, flirty and playful kissesCollectively as one, never imagined apartProof of togetherness from the very start "
4 " Look ahead to the bright lightUse your hopes to unfold each nightRejoice in the struggle, stay saneThere’s always sunshine after rain "
5 " Your eyes were on fireYou were scratching your headPacing the roomYou were seeing red "
6 " READ BETWEEN THE LINES It can be a dangerous thing trying to Read between the lines You can’t be sure what someone else is thinking or feeling unless you get inside their head Look into their heart and listen to their feelings Someone says one thing and you read something else into it Why do we do that? Why do we not just ask for clarification? say what do you mean? Tell me what you’re thinking? Trying to work it out causes confusion Builds tension and worry We lie in bed at night procrastinating overthinking Stressing Then we build walls and worry about something that may not be there Read between the lines But how can you? we cannot read minds or see into hearts Souls are deep, complicated So when someone says Read between the lines I’d err on the side of caution forget the lines are there Look for clarity in spoken words.
