My Lifeguard Saving Me

A Nonet

This is my first attempt at a Nonet.

I knew little of life before you
blindly bouncing, bravely bounding
leaping, soaring, cliff diving
plunging, crashing, hatching
another heartache
then you appeared
engineered
my cure
love

love
so grand
gift so rare
the love you shared
you took a chance with
a single glance, you stared
deep within a place hidden
beneath a deep, bottomless well
my lifeguard, saving me, mouth to mouth
