The Lovers Last Dance Comments

At the time part of myself died and Gail had never known the Wonder of a lover, hence I wrote this poem putting myself in the Imaginary lover’s shoes

A tragic tale of united love set to music. The contrast between the opening and the body of the poem is dramatic.10.
