We Two

My hopes for love lay in collapse. Age grew, love left ~ then you brought heat. You came in view with your perhaps. My hopes for love lay in collapse. You sought me out ~ I let time lapse. You gave me a funny heartbeat. My hopes for love lay in collapse. Age grew, love left ~ then you brought heat. Now I so love being we two Alone in our own paradise. Our couple time is time spent true. Now I so love being we two. At first sight of you, I withdrew Thinking your flirt overly nice. Now I so love being we two Alone in our own paradise.

A lovely Triolet, CayCay, and so well-written to fit the theme of 'love reckons a second time', and it is so wonderful that you found love, companionship, and happiness. Congrats on your fine win. Hugs, Sandra

Thank you, James. I hope there isn't a sadness to your 'we' comment, if so - never give up. I had. Truly, I had given up on a perfect partner when perfect companionship found me. I'm glad you liked the poem ... CayCay

Enjoyed this double triolet, CayCay; very romantic. Lovely to see a person rising up from defeat at finding new love. ~ Triolet is not as easy as it looks, but you have got the hang of it. // paul

I know next to nothing about Triolet but know some things about love thus, from that perspective, a very romantic and beautiful poem, dear CaCay!

CayCay a very sweet poem, to obviously a very special man. I'm not familiar with triolet I will now have to investigate it.

Hey, Mark. You would enjoy the challenge of the Triolet, obviously you need a line worthy of repeat. I'm so glad you thought it sweet and yes, a special man. Thank you ... CayCay
