Another Poem (Love) For Nancy Poem by david lessard

When last I left you...on the Nile,
We were just getting to know each other;
Now it's been...a long, long while,
Since you found out, I was not my brother.

I am what I am, and you accepted that,
I didn't change for you, nor you for me;
Now we are a pair and for each, a cat,
Love is odd, can't see just what will be.

I swore I'd never write another poem of love,
Too many bad results were gathered;
I saw my dreams cast aside, like a shove,
And hopes drowned and shattered.

But, here I am again, lost in love, once more,
Wrapped in smiles and pleasant laughter;
I have no thoughts of any closing door,
But doesn't that always come soon after?

No, not this time, I won't allow it,
Not this time, this love, we'll not fail;
I'll not fall into that horrid pit,
Not into that sunset will I sail.

Just hold me close and hold me tight,
Say you love me, each and every day;
No matter for tomorrow, it's out of sight,
I will find your path, when there's no way.
