Now Adam and his beauteous Eve A love like ours could not conceive And Cleo and her Anthony Could not compare to you and me Sweet Juliette and Romeo, our kind of love could never know Brave Lancelot and Guinevere Our strength of our love would surely fear Napoleon and Josephine of love were not the king and queen Harsh Rochester and gentle Eyre To love like we do would not dare See Pyramus and his Thisbe They died for love, but you and me We live for love, and truth be told Our love is ever new, not old The tales of lovers, one by one When matched with ours become undone One day our names in verse will live No greater love could cupid give You are the symbol of true love The kind that’s fashioned up above I am your lover, muse, and guide Within love’s castle we abide The two of us can show this world What love can do once it’s unfurled We are the best of lovers, we will shine in hallowed history the legend of all legends, see is sweetest tale of you and me

What a thrill to be mentioned among legendary lovers. The title pulled me in and I left satisfied, as always with your writing Eileen. Thanks for posting this gem!

wishes and dreams lifted by romantic wings in worlds where lovers feet never touch the ground and hands are held on moonlight walks on sandy shores where beckoning waves are found...my first thoughts poet after reading of your dreamer's list of famous loves...

I cherish that title, Robert. There is so much ugliness in this world...romance and love help us bear the pain of unfulfilled dreams and ideals. Thanks for the visit, dear.

I just love this. If you are to be a fool to be a "Romantic fool" is the best choice. It certainly makes you an exceptional writer.

Thanks, SO. Tell your muse to give you the words...it's a lovely theme to write one.

a love like this would have been blessed by Aphrodite herself!! Wow, so romantic, Eileen. I love it. You forgot one couple that I truly admired in history: Abelard and Heloise. Do you know their story? And I will be waiting to see a double sonnet from you!

Eileen Manassian
Date: 9/21/2017 3:01:00 AM

I didn't before, but I did read up on it. So sad. Thanks for the post, dear. I am going to try my hand at the double sonnet. I'll use your poem as my model. You are flawless. Hugs

This is such the romantic write my friend! It's nice to have your voice here within the Soup again Eileen! I have missed your special words! I surely loved reading your delightful poem this afternoon, what a grand piece, Great Work!!

Thanks, Russell. I hope you are on the mend. I've been so busy at work. I finally am getting some help with the load I'm carrying. I'm teaching 5 courses, and the paperwork I have to correct is keeping my hands tied. I'll try to write more when I can.

aww Eileen this is so beautiful and romantic.. we just need the name of your hubby!!! I hope one day to write romance half as beautifully as you do but it is not something I am good at as i much prefer humour:-) hugs jan xx

:) You are such a sweetie pie, dear. I'm just a romantic fool....romanticizing everything. Hubby is not romantic, I'm afraid, but I write to my heart's content. He says I'll never grow up...and he's right. I never will. I'll continue to be an idealist...hopeless...romantic fool. We need the humor too, dear. :) Write on....

Your poetry reflects a high education. I surely enjoyed it (and envy it).

:) Thank you, dear. I can't take all the credit. I needed a reminder, so I did look up famous lovers. There were many, but I chose the ones that I knew and like and that I could rhyme with. Thanks for the visit, dear.
