Chris Green Poet Rhyme

Harboring Dreams Beneath the Surface

~

Silence, on waves of our tide motioned heartbeats,
cascading rhythms, a smooth metronome
Keeping this time inside blue water passions,
beneath the surface, the feelings we’ve grown

Hidden so deep in the swells of affection,
swimming the shores of a long summer’s night
Building a fortress of seashell laced castles,
sand dollar curtains to fend off the light

Running for cover as sunrise now beckons,
placing our smiles where the seas cannot gaze
Whispering secrets of coast line devotion,
harboring dreams till the end of our days

Lighthouse lit beacons now search as a witness,
beaches a’ shimmer of moon glow above
Hoisting our anchor, we share the horizons,
sailing these oceans, professing our love

~

CayCay Godwin September 18, 2019 at 6:51 PM Oh, I love your poetry skills and this poem is yet another reason why. Each line is so beautifully imagery rich that I've gotten a full poetry fix but still wish to read at least another by you (could read you all day if time allowed.) Poetry hugs ...
