Forgetting Christine

Forgetting Christine

As a thorn would pierce the skin
And bury there, deep within
Childish was my love for her
Caught was I upon that spur

Was it but, her air of grace
Or that she was fair of face
Beauty with a sense of plain
Earthly built in every grain

As she passed the flowers dim
Grew brighter round her every rim
Their blooms alone to signify
An angel there was walking by

Her rebel spirit could not hide
The joy she brings upon her tide
A crest of wistful whisperings
From deep imagination springs

Still she lives there in my muse
Pouring thoughts, that refuse
To let her go from every scene
I’ll not forget my sweet Christine

Hello CayCay, We try to improve as we write, most poets settle into what feels right for them eventually. Don’t recall crossing paths but I’m sure this won’t be the last. Take care, Richard.

I read your 1st 3 postings then this and comparatively speaking - WOW. This poem is so smooth, the flow, rhyme, topic, each line a grabber. This reminds me of many people from my past who served as a muse then and still do to some extent. I just met you on the AI Blog. Don't know why we haven't crossed paths before, or if we have, forgive me, my rememberer is broken. This was so delightful, I'm off to read another. CayCay
