Love Poem: The Last
Tom Bell Avatar
Written by: Tom Bell

The Last

When the Last milkman
Puts the last
Quart of milk
In the last milkbox,

And the last
General Practitioner
Makes the last
house call

And the last
mousetrap
is invented,

The last sea
 is crossed
The last hope
 is lost

And the last
human thought 
has faded
Into eternity

The last shot
has been fired

The last 
death rattle
Rattled

The last
secret tattled

The last martini
served

My love 
will still last
My heart 
will still
hold fast

For the
shadow 
Eternity 
does cast
Has met
it's match
at last.
