There was a time when I thought you were the one
And then my world parted and another caught my eye.
That’s the way of life and love; we ride it high
Until incompatibility says we’re done.
We fall in love before we’ve begun
We scale mountains holding hands; we are deified.
There was a time when I thought you were the one
And then my world parted and another caught my eye.
All were dreams and lust, our eyes locked, not seeing past fun,
Not paying attention to what was unrealized.
Disappointment rattled, shook us awry,
We started tumbling, unrolling; we came undone.
There was a time when I thought you were the one.
Join me at dVerse Poets where I am the host Thursday at 3PM EST and give instruction on the Rondel. It should be fun! http://dversepoets.com/2016/02/11/meeting-the-bar-the-rondel/
