In love, there is no safety net
and we, like ageing acrobats,
reach out for hands which once had met
but now do not. Below wild cats
patrol the ring: each hungry roar
calls us, hurtling from above.
A baying crowd yells out for more
in this circus we call love.

WickedEveabout 15 years agoI like the poem but there is one section that could be dropped: "but now do not." "Hands <b>once</b> met" implies that they no longer do. So "but now do not" isn't really needed and it doesn't read all that well in the poem.
