Hi dear readers, this poem is the 2nd poem of mine to be published in the Geelong Writers Poetry Anthology 2018. Another of my favourites that hasn’t managed to be published until now, please enjoy my song of love.
Singing A Song For You
The Banjo’s playing our song
Old Buskers are singing along
Music’s quietly echoing our beat
Ballads of love humming so sweet
Cannot remember the last time I sang for you
Sat down together and talked life through
Soft and sad words, like hymns in tune
Strumming on an angels harp at high noon
Singing our lyrics of eternal love so true
It’s so long since celestial sounds covered you
Years ago when our love was new
Laying upon fresh grass and morning dew
Ivor Steven (c) 2018
