One Love In A Lifetime By luck you didn't see me As your bold eyes swept the room. I stayed within the shadows As you poised to pluck a bloom. I saw you take her hand and Whirl her gaily to the floor And skittered to the exit Before I could see more. Hours later when I hear you Quietly insert the key, I wonder just what story You've concocted to tell me. I do not want to hear it, I pretend to be asleep And what I have to say to you Can until morning keep. One love in a lifetime is How it was meant to be; One love in a long lifetime Enough for you and me. One love in a lifetime Would be forever true. One love in a lifetime proved For you to be too few.

Such a powerful rhyme. I found my one love in a lifetime, but not everybody is so lucky. |

Dear Joyce - I have felt this awful ache and deception more than once in my life. You write of it very well. hugs, Chris Poetry is an echo, asking a shadow to dance. |
