Chris Green Poet Rhyme

I Crawl Through the Thicket

I crawl through the thicket

O’er windswept conclusions a’ mist in the air
In fragrance that comes to my heart so aware
Of sundrenched magnolia beneath empty shade
To steal every ounce of your caring displayed
I touch to the heavens a wing and a prayer
Belief in the joy that is felt everywhere
When oceans fall further than all eyes can see
This love will eternally find you from me

When clouds of confetti, the song of the dove
The sweetest rendition of musical love
Does float on the breezes of everyday flow
A’ twisting and turning until it can show
Those mountains of glory that stand in the way
Exceeding the plan that we set forth this day
Can not comprehend what my pure love will do
No matter the hurdle, I send it to you

Since dawn hath approached in a place before time
So simple the earth as our life does unwind
No flowers of blossom still yet find the ground
A desolate nature lies lost in its sound
Lone rivers of feelings that wander so free
O’er rain cast endeavors drop life from the sea
When all that is new shines a star up above
The light of its journey shall bring you my love

From deserts of sand to a sandy white shore
The pain shall be nothing each day I endure
I crawl through the thicket, my hands and my knees
If only a moment your sweet life to please
No valleys of darkness so endless and deep
Nor rock scattered caverns through which I do creep
Shall keep me from finding the pathway to you
To bring you a love that forever is true

Lisa Ricci March 31, 2017 at 5:53 AM Morning Chris. I see you have been introduced to the traditional greats that came before us. I may not write in traditional language and voice but I can spot it miles away and so appreciate it. There is nothing to critique here but only to say this is poetry with much attention to detail. You rhyme well which is one of the main elements of this craft. Have a wonderful morning. Chris Green March 31, 2017 at 9:22 AM Thanks so very much Lisa. Well since I am probably as old as they are, introductions are easy. :) I am glad you liked this one.

Darren White March 31, 2017 at 12:00 AM I crawl through the thicket too. It is a long way, but I don't care, there are oceans between, and borders, a lot of work, and a lot of love. Nothing can keep one away from the loved one, nothing. Very beautiful and determined poem, my friend, and so endearing. Chris Green March 31, 2017 at 9:20 AM Thanks so much Darren. Whatever it takes my friend. I appreciate your kindness to me always.
