![]() A Love That Lasts by Charlotte Edwards A quick glance Not too bad I don’t believe in love at first sight But I do believe in soul mates Love will come and go I’ll keep my eyes open Give everyone a chance But I find that disappointment Always comes so fast One day someone comes along But something’s different this time I paid so little attention at first But he sure noticed me I wasn’t even looking for love It only took a second glance For me to open up my heart Then I let him in so fast He swept me off my feet I found my one true love Flings come at first sight But real love comes When you get to know someone And only true love lasts forever --------OO0OO-------- A Lover's Serenade by Joseph F Johnson My fingers touch the dormant strings Making silent vibrations become sound My heart opens up like unfurled wings Lifting my soul high up off the shaking ground My heart pounds with an endless beat Reflecting the trembling within my hands The song is played until it's complete Which leads to new beginnings in exotic lands On paper, as a scenic esplanade My feelings transformed to words that I write But on this guitar with a serenade Love is in the air when my poetry takes flight ![]() |
