Living here in separation keeps the heart on tainted sleeves a critical visible situation oh who is this talking to me. Well the years are quickly burning and our love has come to rest and the heartaches that we're earning will see the future past the best. so let's fall in love again let's fall in love like we did back when let's find the same love that made us friends. Well there's grey in your auburn hair and the crows feet mark your eyes but there's beauty there we both shared in the feelings we're trying to hide. let's fall in love again let's fall in love from beginning to end let's make the same love that made us friends. There's everything we need to know in the love we had long ago where we kept our hopes and blessings back when there was no guessing. let's fall in love again the way we did when we were making plans let's find the same love that made us friends. something had to be right back where we found delight let's fall in love again let's use the same love we used back then! Let's fall in love again! The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up |

This is wonderfully woven. Thoughts held by so very many, I'm certain. If only more would take the time to 'fall in love again' instead of falling out. This is so tender and sensible, though wonderfully romantic. |

Eric: I like these 2 stanzas especially: "Living here in separation keeps the heart on tainted sleeves a critical visible situation oh who is this talking to me." "Well there's grey in your auburn hair and the crows feet mark your eyes but there's beauty there we both shared in the feelings we're trying to hide." --very expressive and strong imagery as well as thought-provoking. Hope is never lost as long as one is willing to keep on trying... Nice write. -MVS "If you think you know it all, you have a lot to learn." |

Thanks Sudhir...it is a song poem as many of mine are and I thank you for recognizing that and commenting. Thanks Virginia for the comments and appreciation! You're right more should concentrate on falling back into love! Thank you Mark for the comments and yes, you're right there's always hope for those willing to try! |

Sounds like a wonderful idea Ethome, I hope the lucky girl says yes. so let's fall in love again let's fall in love like we did back when let's find the same love that made us friends.

This poet's life is difficult in this you can believe, it comes to this as a result of wearing heart on sleeve. I hope it works out for you and agree, friends first. "Oh what a tangled web we weave when first we practice to decieve" |

This really did sing to me! I think this would be a lovely 'anniversary' poem/song - to keep love alive is a wonderful idea. Your auburn haired lady is lucky to have you.  |
