The pause of life

Life paused, a long sigh
In memory of the low and high
The plateau is a shade of grey
For stalkers grey is not a prey

The creased brow, is where life paused
Love ended and the pleasure doused
The memories had no recall
When life paused, no not at all

Life just paused and stayed paused
Till came the gentle tap that caused
The pause to stop and gently start
The keys, they played a naughty part
And nudged the motion, a gentle shove
The paused life thus unpaused with love

The new nudged back the old
Into a cliff that had no hold
On that which went in, a black hole

A hapless smile uncreased the brow
A fleeting memory of a cupid's arrow
And trails of lines, a sozzled smile
And a start  anew, like drops of dew
Like a drowning man who grasps at straws
The fleeting memories unpause
The dullness caused when life had paused
