I Crave

I crave for thee oh heights
Fathomless heights,
Hiding beyond the skies
Where wisdom and wealth lies

I crave for thy zenith oh heights,
Fathomless heights;
Not for the audacity of euphoria
Nor for the aroma of nostalgia.

I crave for thy topnotch oh heights
Fathomless heights;
To become the epitome of an epicure 
And my brains and brawns to insure

I crave for thee oh heights
Fathomless heights:
The abode of the twinkling stars,
The home that can’t behold scary scars.

An unusual way of carrying rhme through both from stanza to stanza, - by way of first two lines in each, therefore linking. But then to rhyme separately last two lines of each stanza separately makes this rather clever aswell as being cleverly descriptive of the infinity of our skies and beyond...Well done and thanks for commenting my writes!
