The Middle

The first step may be impulsive, and the last step due to sunk costs,
For the intermediate steps however, you need to run from pillar to posts.
Will they make a difference, take you nearer to your goals?
Or like the Sisyphean stone keep rolling back, haunting you like ghosts.
 
Passion may catch you the first fish, and desperation the last,
But if you want to catch fish daily, you need to wider net cast.
For days what may land your alley, is debris from the past,
The flotsam and the jetsam, don't get rid of them so fast.

The first kiss is oh! so vivid, and the last one tinged with pain,
It's the in-between that matter - but aren't they simple and plain? 
The daily ritual of kissing your wife, is it love or disdain,
By reserving the kiss for special occasions, would you be cruel or vain?

To promise the moon and deliver the stars, is a brilliant stunt,
When you promised 90 in 90, were you sober or drunk?
