[Vintage54]

       My lyrics are coming out more like verse these days, don't know why. Hope they're not out of place. 
                         
                                       How.

                      How could i not be faithful
                      To someone such as her
                      Does the moth at the lighthouse glass
                      Seek a candle's lesser glare

                      How could i look on another
                      Having gazed into those eyes
                      The stars would be redundant
                      If their home were in the skies

                      How could i ever stay angry
                      When she gives to me that smile
                      That makes the gathering swallows sad
                      To leave this changing isle

                      How could i ever grow weary
                      Of hearing her sweet song
                      When the bees forsake the flowers
                      To swarm around her tongue

                      How could i not but love her
                      When our lips are locked together
                      And my heart is racing like a hare
                      Across the moorland heather.

Hi Vintage

Needs a shorter title - just kidding!
It's solid as ever - you set the bar high for the rest of us.
I wasn't keen on the song/tongue/bees verse - could be my colonial accent and fear of bees kicking in though.

Nice work
Paul

As sweet as ever Vintage,
                                    yes to me your last couple of postings
have seemed like verse but so what the're still quality,i think it just
shows your versatility,it's not like you can't write a bloody good tune,
bring on the next one,
                               Tom.

How very poetic Vintage, a very mature and thoughtful write.

Beautiful imagery and some wonderful metaphors.

At first I struggled with the bees swarming around her tongue but realised on second read it was directly related to the sweet song line. Would have been nice if you'd could have got a reference to 'nectar' in there somewhere.

All in all a great write up to your usual high standards.

Beautiful  --  not much more to say.  No nits that I can find.  Short, and sweet and says a lot in a few words.

Bloomin lovely

I am in awe of the standard on this lyric board. The way everyone here is able to conjure up such great images and metaphors blows my mind

Really enjoyed it
