Chris Green Poet Rhyme

Destined Lonely

Here I remain where my destiny pointed 
Followed the path with a twist at each turn
Long was the road that appeared ever changing
After these years you would think I could learn 

Safe in her arms feeling nothing could hurt me
Fingers entwined and her lips made of fire
Maple leaf dreams should have lasted forever
All that I wanted, my every desire

Open doors closed with their locks tightly bolted
Windows reflecting each shadow I see
Pulled a direction no fighting could waiver
Darkness converged on the image of me

Listening to echoes of words never spoken
All by myself on a wall made of stone
Hoping my tears are enough now to drown me
It had to be, I am destined alone

Sunlite Wanter March 11, 2018 at 9:22 PM Never, Chris, never destined alone! Somehow I missed this but am glad it showed up on the Best Poems. It is!

CayCay Godwin March 4, 2018 at 4:05 AM I HAVE MISSED UR TALENT. My laptop was 'killed' 3-17 by hijackers, my Soup world darkened until 11-17 when I returned. Was bummed not to see u on New Poems list. When I did spy u somewhere, I did not know where to begin what I'm fumbling thru now. Trying to say, I couldn't just 'drive-by' read u, not 1 of my fav writers, no, I have need to say more whether I say it badly or mediocre. So, Hi, missed reading you, so glad u did not leave, and, well, that's my starting place as box kicks me out

Rhoda Tripp February 19, 2018 at 12:53 PM Destined to be alone? Pfffttt! I dont think so, Chris. Anyways...This is such a beautifully penned melancholy write. I especially love the words "maple leaf dreams" and "darkness converged on the image of me" Fabulous lines. A great write!
