A New Love  (dedicated to the Eternal city of Rome)

 

My old loves have fallen

from grace

No longer do they hold a

place

They have been relegated

to times past

For a new lover beckons

at last

 

He has always had a 

place in my heart

And this is from 

the very start

I considered him to be 

out of reach

Like a sand castle on 

a crumblling beach

 

Now he calls with

renewed vigour

For amongst a few

he is very 'de riguer'

He is strong and boldly

defiant

Forever there and forever

reliant

 

He has emerged a new

to seduce me again

Now older I shall feel

no pain

I willingly go and know 

that I shall live out

my days in his eternal afterglow
