We Are Lovers

Throughout history, we are lovers Throughout history, we are soul mates We are Romeo and Juliet We are Anthony and Cleopatra We are Lancelot and Guinevere We are Tristan and Isolde Scarlett O' Hara and Rhett Elizabeth Barrett and Robert Pocahontas and John Jayne Eyre and Rochester... Blended inside one another Melted inside one another Two hearts are one Two souls are one Throughout the ages Throughout eternity Forever was Forever shall be... You and I The sweetest symphony, and if there were to be another life than the one that we now live, I know your soul would find mine We would be the next world renowned lovers, our names immortalized in the books that will be written, for a love like ours, this passion we share, defies the boundaries of time It's a living entity infused with heaven's light and its longevity You and I We lived; we live; we will live, for we are the embodiment of love We ARE love Personified You and I Love's sweetest refrain Yesterday, now, and forever YOU and I Collab between Tim Ryerson and Eileen Ghali For Carolyn Devonshire's Contest Past Lives June 25, 2014 * A fictitious write

I don't deny it, but the intent was to kid you for reacting thus to my own recent poem. :-) You are, nevertheless.

Most of History has been built on love ( and hate, jealousy); but we look to love to make the world go round. Lovely collaboration where I feel that the second part started at "You and I". // paul

Date: 6/30/2014 3:13:00 AM

Yes, Paul...You are so astute. The you and I was where I came in. :) Tim really should have entered this on his own because his bit is awesome. Anyway...thanks for this lovely post.

Yes, Justin....Life isn't worth living without love. Without love, sadness comes in and eats up the heart. At least through poetry, this kind of love can be glorified. Thanks for the visit. I've missed your insightful posts.

A glorious write from two awesome poets. good luck in the contest and i loveddddd the mistress poem Eileen! Hugs Jan xxxxx

Date: 6/25/2014 4:19:00 AM

OH! Thanks ever so much, Jan. The Mistress poem is so dear to my heart. It has special meaning for me, and so I guess that is why it came out pretty well. Thank you for your kind words. Tim is a very talent poet, and a very wonderful man. I'm glad our banter lead us to this. Hugs

Tim, thank YOU! I readily admit...your part is the sweeter bit...I'm glad you took my message as an offer to collab or this would never have been born, and I'm so glad it has seen the light....irrespective of contest rules. Hugs

Eileen Manassian
Date: 6/25/2014 4:10:00 AM

Hey, you! What a privilege to work on this with you! :) I made some changes. I don't know, Tim. It's over 20 lines...and from the other two poems I've read, the authors are writing about actual experiences. Hmmmmm....I don't believe in past lives, but...this sure was fun. ;) You ROCK, my dear. I'm honored! Hugs

Tim Smith

This is tremendous... You two rocked it....loved that you are soul mates....Tim

I have only collabed with a very few people, Richard L, Craig C, Honestly JT, and Drake E. I have been asked by someone else, and I hope to be able to work with him soon. This came as a lovely surprise. I get asked...and I love it when the man takes the lead...My Middle Easter mind set. Tim Ryerson? Well, he's awesome! :) Glad it worked out! It hardly took any effort. It just flowed!

Tim Smith
Date: 6/25/2014 4:02:00 AM

I saw that...it is a nice thing to do... Helps me when I Do it.

Tim, this came collab about in a strange way, but I'm glad we had the chance to work on it. Tim is a dear friend, and I love teasing him. We loved working on this together as a result of a bit of banter on my poem, Mistress May I. If you read that, you will know what sparked this. Thank you for your visit. I don't know if this will do well in the contest as it is a fictitious write and not based on reality as the other poems are.
