Eileen Manassian Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Let Them Sing Their Love Songs

Let writers write their stories
And singers sing love songs
But we both know it, baby
They’ve got this “love” thing wrong

Cause what we’ve got is greater
Than all those words combined
The feelings that course through us
Defy being defined

No, nothing does it justice
It’s deeper than a word
Our “love” is more than magic
Makes all those songs absurd

Your name, there’s nothing sweeter
Your eyes immerse my soul
Your lips, a fiery furnace
Your breath revives my soul

To me, you’re not a hero
Each pales when next to you
And we’re not star crossed lovers
We need a term that’s new

For what we have is legend
It's truer than what’s real
It shames each song and story
Our love is what can heal

And so, I say, “I love you”
Though words can never tell
What rages in my heart
Makes heaven of this hell

So, let them write their stories
And let them sing love songs
But we both know it, darling
They’ve got this whole thing wrong

For there’s no love like our love
All others don’t compare
Cause what we have is stronger
No other stands a prayer

Yes, what we have is stronger:
The sweetest love affair

John Watt February 21, 2020 at 11:05 AM I love the lines "The feelings that course through us / Defy being defined". This whole write is a testimony to a committed love that is far greater than words can convey. This has such a lyrical, musical feel to it. Loved it, a fav ~ John

Robert Lindley October 31, 2019 at 9:03 PM There is immense beauty and gasping depths within this gem my friend. The truth within awes this old poet as upon reading this several times, I see now why we men so oft underestimate women. They have a link to romance built into them whereas we act as savages eager for the conclusion, they master the entire realm of passion as a feast of their own powerful hands. A great poem a and a very fine fav...
