Last Chance Lover
LAST CHANCE LOVER
What means to you
that I can sing
a note
more white
than angels wings
What means to you
that I can fly
reveal
and soar
the Hubble sky
What means to you
that you will miss
the lingering tongue
that fits
your kiss
What means to you
I long to taste
that drop
of love
that’s gone
to waste
What means to you
we’re worlds a part--
one pithy glance
could heal
your heart
What means to you
that your next breath
may be
the bell
that tolls for death
What means to you
that in a blink
that you
could fly
across the sea
to rectify
this flagrant waste
of
wayward
charm
that lies
a-waiting
in
my
arms
