Throwback Poem-Off: Sing On [original poem]

The complexities of life and love distilled into poetic discourse - such is the Poem-Off!

@mitchelljaworski's last entry called to mind a noble pursuit in a relationship, despite an uncertain future. Read it here: A Woman's Worth

And my response below...

Sing On

The singing won't stop
Not that I want it to,
Really.
But I find it funny
That it just won't stop.

I ask myself, "Why?"
And without realizing,
Reply -
"Because I love him."
(That always makes me laugh.)

It's very different now
Than the way it was or not
Before
And it is so refreshing
That I don't want it to end.

It tickles at my soul,
Brightens my eyes
And such,
So I have this giddy feeling
Abounding in my life.

"Sing on!" I tell myself -
One part to another -
"Sing on!"
Enjoy these fantastic moments
Who knows how long they'll last.

What's a poem-off, you ask? Just a little thang that started a little bit ago. I read a poem that @mitchelljaworski posted, from his old-school writing days. It reminded me of all of my old-school poems, so I challenged him to see if we could go turn-for-turn and repost long lost words from the vaults of time. No rules apply, and new stuff might just make the mix. Check it out, y'all. Follow the links down the rabbit hole...
