Between the Lines of Poetry Soup
Between the lines of Poetry Soup
Lies partly hidden the real scoop
Poets with emotion’s overflow
Spillage of which, they do not know
Leaks between lines of what they write
Discerning souls, bring them to light
Fellow poets with this "disease"
Wanting to love, wanting to please
Can read between the lines so fair
And see love affairs written there
And secret longings all scream out
Though unstated, there is no doubt
Which poet is in love with whom
And which affair will surely bloom
Clear to read Love’s Richter scale
The in between codes, never fail
Poems present and poems past
Love or friendship, now which will last?
Terms of endearment, every one
Is a love song that can't be sung
Between the lines, you can’t deny
Affairs of heart are flying high
For we are poets one and all
Programmed, it seems, in love to fall…
With those whose words can so ignite
Who touch our souls with sheer delight
Chorus:
Between the lines
Between the lines
The love is there
Between the lines
The long standing and hidden pain
The hints of love that's gone insane
Between the lines
Between the lines
YOUR love is there
Between the lines.
