Love Is a Photograph

The bluest eyes I've ever seen
The pages of a magazine
I look at you in Holy White
Hollywood never gets it right
Since that eve I can't forget
The way I felt the day we met
The years go by, I wonder why
His Spirit called me from on High
It's been so long since that first song
I wonder where it all went wrong
Love waits for an eternity
Love is more than just a fantasy.

Hey Patricia, a warm and hearty welcome to Poetry Soup. This is a wonderful poem to join with - I love the rhyme and reference to our Heavenly Father and His Spirit; and a beautiful image of Love. I look forward to enjoying more of your poems in the future - and hopefully you'll find a moment to visit with me as well. Be Blessed, Neva

thanks! Stupid question, but how do become a poetry soup "friend" or does that just imply facebook? I'm not really a poet but I'm a musician and I love lyrics so I am thinking of trying to bust a few out myself to see if I can make something out of it.
