Love Poem: Sing

Written by: Bob Johnson

Sing

when life's lifting wing 
lifts a man who will sing 
his love   
to sleep 
and she wants him to 
nothing from them   
that fate can keep 
her familiar face 
pressed against his chest 
three sixty degree beauty 
but this angle is best 
heart felt song 
wonderful night 
stretches long 
a soothing symphony   
from the heart of he 
comfort and peace 
nothing is wrong 
but he and she 
turned out to be 
loves best tragedy 
this diminished façade 
that's left to see 
the talking ruins   
of what once was me 
no where near 
what would and should be 
an immortal romantic   
that no longer believes 
in love 
or in poetry 
with a single fling   
of my hearts golden ring 
this broken man   
will no longer sing
