He played my love just like a beautiful, moving harp song.
He played with my body until our bond became so strong.
He played me to the rhythm of our love song in which we belong.
Beneath the stars, I strum my guitar
And sing a serenade of love that goes far
My voice a soothing balm for her soul
Her heart rejoices, her spirit takes control
Whispering words sent from above
Speak of her beauty that's so much more than enough
In her presence, my heart feels alive
My love for her will surely survive
The serenade of the heart's a divine song
A symphony of love that's forever strong
For those who believe in the power of love
Its joy and light will spread, like a dove
Let this serenade guide us on our journey
In this vast world, where love can be blurry
May our love always shine like the stars
And guide us like a beacon from afar
So let this powerful serenade play
A music that will guide our everyday
As we cherish the love that will last forever
Our hearts entwined, we'll leave never.
We were at a gay bar for the first time.
I was reminded of friendship,
while she looked for love.
I have a purse full of memories,
and she looked at her empty hands
in disappointment.
I pointed to show her
in them we made her story.
By pushing the door that spoke to her,
that she once ignored
in a fear she couldn't accept.
I thought of you and smiled in comfort.
The women here are so respectful.
And fun loving.
Singing 90s songs.
That is where her love may be.
And mine is home with you.
Because I've been thinking 'bout you
ooh na na na
I've been thinking 'bout you
I shared her cigarette,
and met a woman with a husband outside.
She is a frequent there-
I can't sing for ****.
But I heard some melodic voices.
I don't know many good karaoke singers.
I'd like to hear you up there.
Do they have Morrissey?
Lady called my name.
Center stage.
I'll think about you ooh na na na
and sing away.
Gently strum my heartstrings,
So I can produce the melody.
The kind that softens the heart,
The melody that awakens the soul,
That which sets us on fire,
A tingly fire that makes the heart race calmly.
Gently strum my heartstrings,
So I can produce the melody.
As you sweep the plectrum sleekly,
In motions that appease the strings,
With an ardent frequency sweep,
We shall brew a lovely crescendo.
Gently strum my heartstrings,
So I can produce the melody.
Just like the ocean tides rise and fall,
So shall be our intervals tempo,
Each time producing acoustic harmony,
That triggers the explosive expression of humanity.
Gently strum my heartstrings,
So I can produce the melody.
Gods Strum Music
The roaring storms quell, surging waters glisten
Kissing the ravages of its mayhem
Mammoth rain drops like tears to
Surf the sleepy to
Safety of
Gods
Who thereof
Strum music to rue
Chasten fossil land to new
Resorts waft in as tourists' heaven
The roaring storms quell, surging waters glisten

moved by the music
heart jumped with the melody
sang with harmony
your fingers softly
strum at the strings of my heart
love's song that I know
