After the circus is over
and the clowns have all gone home
I'm left here with the sawdust,
…feeling so alone

After the party's ended
And the crowd has disappeared
I'm left standing in debris
… feeling unendeared

After this love has gone away
And there's nothing left but dust
I'm left coping with remains
…of lechery and lust

After my heart is mended
And my world tilts back again
I'll find a new and better love
To banish all my pain.



"It is the image in the mind that links us to lost treasures;
but it is the loss that shapes the image,
gathers the flowers weaves the garland."-

Kethry-

"I'll find a new and better love
To banish all my pain."
And he will love me long and strong -
proceed with patience, stay the course
stay with me the whole night long
and I'll awake the bed not bare
knowing I've found a one with care.

with poetry like yours - I will have to issue more challenges - well done very well done

Thank you Wil, you gave a seductive aftermath to my "after" poem, really polished it up.

Be well

Kethry-
Make no mistake - your poem stands very well on its own - those words were for you
