You know I always wanted, babe,
to write you a love song,
but every time I get the feel
I get the words all wrong.
I know how I can make love laugh
and how to make love cry;
I'm captive of your photograph;
remembrance gets me high.
A melody may haunt your mind
if lyrics seem just fair;
the message may be hidden well
just listen and it’s there.
Perhaps my words are madness
but do you understand?
It’s writ to tell of sadness,
of a dream that once I had.
I know now how to make love laugh;
you taught me how to cry.
I'm captive of your photograph;
remembrance gets me high.
{Between each set of verse lyrics}
Oh! I can make love laugh babe
but you just make it cry.
Though I’m prisoner of your photograph;
your smile still makes me try.

Congratulations Sharon on winning Silver.
I thought I'd commented on your beautiful poem. I know I read it many times and enjoyed reading every word. HMMM I know what happened: Heathcote was feeling amorous.
Well done Sharon.

Congrats on the silver. I think trophies go good with my plastic spoons and paper plates that I use when all my dishes are dirty...which is always.

To me it sounds like lyrics of a song. I can almost sing it in my head, if I was just smart enough to write the music to it.
The tone is almost as if it's being written to someone who has passed on...also of someone who has broken your heart but left you with not only memories but a better understanding of love.
Or so I think.

Dear Yemassee Moxie,
I love saying Moxie, Moxie, Moxie. I’ve been laughing at your poem since I read your witty humour. Yem, you understand me completely. Now I think I know what he tried to say to me. He tried to set me free, however he left me sad and blue with only his words and precious memory. ~Namaste Blessed Be, to you and yours eternally~ XXX Love and Hugs, Sharon~

Dear Sharon,
I was really taken with this poem when you sent it to me for preview.
The lyrical nature of your lines is musical. The gentle rebuke to him whose picture evokes both happy and tearful memories but which you cannot bring yourself to cast aside is beautifully and concisely conveyed. A poem of which to be proud.
I know full well how it can be
to find oneself enraptured
when, in a photograph, you see
elusive beauty captured.
A damsel once did send to me
her picture – ‘twas pure art.
Stark naked, rising from the sea,
that image stole my heart.
Long raven hair the breeze blew free,
gold skin, smooth shapely hips
and, glistening tantalisingly,
a pair of ruby lips.
I realise that you may laugh
to think that I should be
enamoured of a photograph
which captivated me.
And yet that snapshot goes to prove
how pictures can provoke strong love.
Applause for a first-rate poem and best of luck in the voting.
With love and hugs, XXX Hugh (R.)

Dear Hugh, I am thankful for you being my English tutor. I can see very well, love is the true heaven in which we all dwell. Happy and tearful memories. As I cast another love song unto the sea of dreams. Even in the joy, the ever-elusive truth still brings me to tears. I am grateful you shared your story of a lost love in all her glory. How I embrace love, and I would never laugh. You have given me another point of view. Sharing in your wisdom how a photograph enamoured and captivated you. Oh, how she must miss the wings of your love and compassion. I am falling leisurely in the beautifully penned poetry you placed on my page. I FEEL the beauty, passion and grace. “I know full well how it can be” Thank you Hugh, this means the world to me. Once upon a time, my photograph provoked a strong love. My words cannot express the love I feel and the fading tenderness. ~Namaste Blessed Be, Hugs, and Love Sharon~

In space so huge that it is beyond measure, in time so vast that it allows infinity to spin and whirl, finding our twin soul becomes a matter of chance of which the odds are dramatically poor. Your words in this poem however indicate you have found yours. The distance there may be on this planet is less than the width of a hair on the head of a great celestial being. We are immortal - whatever seems too large for us to handle in this stage will be an insignificant act one time, beyond time. You are indeed a songwriter, a lyricist unique and creative. Thank you, precious soul for sharing and good luck in the contest. May The Light flood you and protect you.

Dear Chris, thank you for reaching out to me.
In your blessed hands of infinity.
God Bless all of us,
within this vast and never-ending ocean of eternal love.
I treasure the words of light you bring to me everyday.
Namaste Blessed Be, to you and yours eternally, ~Love Sharon~

~Dearest Timothy~
Oh my how I would care for a cup of tea,
And to be in your loving grace eternally.
This is my song, and this is my love story.
He is the first love that reached out for me.
And even though he is hiding, here is our dream
Thanks my beloved friend for being here with us as we.
“Come and dance romance delightful.
Care for me, care for tea?
Love me do, you're so insightful,
Please set my spirit free.”
Ditto, where are you now first love of mine.
I’ve been alone, here in your rhythm and rhyme.
~Namaste Blessed Be, Love Sharon~
