    My Last Lover

    Gentle caress of fingertips      

    Coolness of breathing         

    Kiss upon my lips

    Shallow heart-beating.

     

    You’ve become my best friend

    My last lover in living

    Your love to me you send

    All I have to you in giving.

     

    Your want for me is oh so bad

    Always by my side

    The love you have makes me mad

    No longer can I hide.

     

    As my soul is gently taken

    Whispers from my final breath

    From living I'm about to awaken

    Because my last lover…............. Is death.

    Incredible poetry... I was not expecting the ending of death as the final lover... but I totally understand the feelings, beginning with your first verse, nealy haunting...

    I really enjoyed the rhythm, and meaning in this piece. What seems to start out as flirting, becomes obvious that the lover is accepted, it's not a rape. Write on.....

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
