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

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
