My Last Love
for Clarissa
- My last love leapt into my life
- like a trapeze artist, flying across the air,
- arms outstretched, reaching toward me
- and I caught her, giving the crowd a scare.
- I took her quickly into my heart
- where she nestled in the soft loam,
- waiting, getting ready to play her part,
- and she did, my last love leapt again
- and I took her into my home to keep
- and my last love lasted longer
- my last love turned into a love so deep
- that it lingered long and our love grew stronger.
- Our lives blended easily, no bother, hassle or fuss
- as two became three; not one: a he, a she, an us.
