Hi dear readers, this poem was published in the Geelong Writers Poetry Anthology 2018. Another of my old favourites that I originally wrote in 2012.

 

Singing A Song For You

 

My old record turntable’s on

The Band’s playing our song

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 under the moon

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
