Taken from a song sung so blue
I’ve been trying to get over you
while my heart still feels a tune
of love once lived beneath a moon

In my soul and heart will reside
one love felt, given, did not hide
As beams of light shine in the eye
beneath a starlit springtime sky

I’ve been trying to get over you
from the moment of a sad adieu
I’ve been aching yet in love too
for the words I write are of you.

My sun has set behind a cloud
as darkness brings forth a black shroud
to cover my eyes as daydreams sleep
and pray to him your soul will keep

A day of love once felt so strong
will beat against a soulful song
As time does turn to memories
my heart in ache will slowly ease

love me ever into the light of eyes
for soul and heart therein me lies
As lasting thoughts are then replaced
by memories in stone of love once traced

Magnus darling boy this is utterly spectacular writing, this has some of the best lines I’ve ever seen

My sun has set behind a cloud
as darkness brings forth a black shroud
to cover my eyes as daydreams sleep
and pray to him your soul will keep

A day of love once felt so strong
will beat against a soulful song
As time does turn to memories

my heart in ache will slowly ease

Have you any idea how superior these lines are? I love the flow of this it is utterly utterly perfect. As always darling boy your writing shines. Truly this is one of your utter best. Absolutely perfectly divine writing. Utterly utterly outstanding.

(big hugggsssssss) This is bittersweet and filled with both hope and sorrow, sweet friend, I know how hard it must be to get over such things as these and I hope that you and your love will be together forever and never have to get over mountains like those you said! (sigh) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this is superb! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Barry, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Your muse is strumming a very sad lyre...but that's okay...even muses have blue days...and sometimes that's when we see the silver lining....

Beautiful...but, somewhat sad and with much longing Barry.
Still one of your best...enjoyed!

Step through the
barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows of my heart

Some times love songs are sad as well as beautiful, like this one.
