Holding On To My Fantasy

Holding on to my fantasy

Enchanting like heaven,
Her melodious voice
Found a home in my heart,

So I followed her path
Engrossed in her lyrics,
Fantasizing a beautiful face
Behind the sound of music,

But I turned back quickly
Holding on to my fantasy,
In case God made a choice
Between voice and beauty.

Valsa George Date: 8/13/2022 7:42:00 PM We tend to fall in love with some one's voice.....without seeing the person singing. But the voice may not necessarily match with the person from whom it comes. So it is better to have an after thought ! Beautiful, Vijay ! Login to Reply

Silent One Date: 12/26/2017 5:15:00 AM Vijay I am seeing a pattern here and I for one see beyond the words.. This is a fantastic rhyming poem, it is short, but the verses are very good... Voice and beauty sometimes are the same choice... Login to Reply Vijay Pandit Date: 12/26/2017 4:01:00 PM You are right Silent One--there is beauty in voice..many thanks.
