Notes About The Poem

. What an exciting and pleasurable experience it was to work with Sandra. Sorta went together like rhythm and rhyme. Thanks to her for her time and patience:)

Love Is, Love Isn't Collaboration with Sandra Weiss

I know the pain that love can bring
How hurtful words can bite and sting
When lies are told, love will take wings
That real love doesn't come with strings

Love, liken to a pendulum swing
Taking it all not giving a thing
Once I listened to my heart sing
When I thought love was everything.

What happens is, that we don't see
Sometimes love's not meant to be
Perhaps there should be a decree,
The lock for love has lost it's key

I found that love was not for me
It brings with it too much debris
Though some will say that love is free
I'd have to say, I disagree.

Hi Daniel, This is a lovely group effort and it flows quite beautifully. I do hope that neither of you actually embrace that sentiment though.

This was an amazingly well written collaboration! You two did a wonderful job. Love can be so wonderful, and love can hurt, sad but true, but you can't run from love, remember that old song? There's just no place in this world you can hide...! That is one of my favorite songs :)

Good duet Daniel....although sad...always like to see love survive and triumph. Can't win em all but as in this case, lost love makes for a fine poem.
