Chris Green Poet Lyric

Down At the End

Down at the end

Cold – winds – blow . . . my skin is bitter
In – the – snow . . . an empty quitter
Take – the – pain . . . of endless trying
Bring – the – rain, rain, rain

There is a place down at the ending of this road
Where I can go to let my lonely heart explode

Come – a – long . . . the crying enter
Hear – my – song . . . half past the center
Touch – the – sun . . . the heat is drying
Bring – the – rain, rain, rain

There is a place down at the ending of this road
Where I can go to let my lonely heart explode
Around the bend in every field as I unload
There is a place down at the ending of this road

There stands a barren tree
Its branches point at me
It only hopes to see
Rain, rain, rain

There is a place down at the ending of this road
Where I can go to let my lonely heart explode
Around the bend in every field is where I spend
There is a place down at the end …………….

Inspired by Nicola Byrnes: The Poet's Choice - The End Of The Road - Just Friends Poetry Contest
I won’t be entering it though, I don’t believe it is the correct form for the contest. 
I just had a melody in my head that needed something written to it before it drove me nuts. : )

John Lawless December 31, 2016 at 10:20 AM DONTCHAJUSTLUVIT....when the muse starts humming in the background and your fingers start screaming...DANCE WITH HER....DANCE WITH HER..... Chris Green January 3, 2017 at 11:11 AM Thanks so much John. I appreciate your enthusiastic comments today. :)

Heidi Sands December 30, 2016 at 2:08 PM Excellent Chris. I would like to hear that on piano! Chris Green December 30, 2016 at 3:14 PM Thanks so much Heidi, if I record it I will let you hear it.

Darren White December 30, 2016 at 12:45 PM There are a few people here that perhaps would put it to music for you, your lyrics, but perhaps you don't want that :) It was enjoyable though, the way you wrote that down, I could follow the rhythm :) Just don't elt your heart explode, who else will write early morning coffee and love songs.... Chris Green December 30, 2016 at 3:14 PM We'll see. :) Darren White December 30, 2016 at 12:59 PM You are!! Ohh, will you put something on Soup then? A song? Like Wesley and Mark Massey? I LOVE that :) Chris Green December 30, 2016 at 12:56 PM Thanks so very much my friend. I am also a songwriter/musician and had the melody prior to writing these lyrics. And don't worry, I don't plan on letting it explode anytime soon. : )

Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen December 30, 2016 at 11:20 AM I can almost hear a tune in this lyric poem. Did you have a one in your mind when you wrote it? It's very good....a song Chris Green December 30, 2016 at 11:25 AM I did and I sung this prior to posting, just to make sure it fit like I wanted it to. The melody found me as I drove to work this morning and the first thing I did was write lyrics to it before it disappeared. :) But, if you hear a melody as well, I am sure yours is much better than mine. Thanks so very much Dane Ann

Becca Teagan December 30, 2016 at 10:39 AM There's something about rain ... just makes me feel good somehow, even if it matches a lonely feeling. I love this Chris. You've expressed loneliness in a powerful way. I think this would make a great song. Chris Green December 30, 2016 at 10:52 AM Thanks so much Rebecca for your wonderful comment. The rain has always been an inspiration to me and though I enjoy the rain, today the inspiration became sadness, though I am anything but. :) I am happy you enjoyed this piece.

Forrest Pasky December 30, 2016 at 10:23 AM I like the rhythm of this piece. You really make it an engaging read. Chris Green December 30, 2016 at 10:51 AM Thanks so very much Forrest, I am happy you liked this one. I wasn't too sure about posting it.

Eve Roper December 30, 2016 at 9:54 AM I love this musical melody, Chris :) Hugs Eve Chris Green December 30, 2016 at 10:49 AM Thank so very much Eve, I am thrilled you do.

Charmaine Chircop December 30, 2016 at 9:54 AM May rain flood every lonely heart that 's dry...I love the rain..for some poeple it gives them a bad mood..but listening to the.rain..feeling the rain...soaking in the rain or just watching it..makes me smile..Hope many will feel this way too.Am touched with the sad feeling here Chris... Chris Green December 30, 2016 at 10:51 AM Thank you so very much my sweet friend, I too am quite fond of the rain. I know that it does bring sadness to some, but it also brings life to so much which in turn brings beauty. Just as your beautiful comments come to me.
