Chris Green Poet Rhyme

Just Blame My Heart

Watching it spin on an axis of shame
Collecting my thoughts in the cool summer rain
Whispering now cause I just can't complain
Well, it's the least I can do 

Silvertone speakers that crackle with age
Finding the book but misplacing the page
Don't question why it is all of the rage
Merely just one point of view 

Washing the sheets as the pillowcase cries
Shouting tomorrow,  an early surprise
Gathering matchsticks, a sweet compromise 
Turning my face to the wind

Cutting a rug even though I can't dance
Betting on four, might as well take a chance
Two could be better when thinking romance
Maybe I'll do it again 

This might seem crazy, the phrases I write
Nothing too loose but some lines very tight
Not making sense in this poem tonight
All of the verses above

Here is the reason I wrote this today
Insane concoctions now put on display
Just blame my heart it has something to say
I think I have fallen in love

Gayle Rodd March 29, 2018 at 8:21 AM This was just lovely. So much meaning in some of the complex yet simplest of phrases..." washing the sheets as the pillowcase cries." Brilliant. Chris Green April 2, 2018 at 8:50 PM Thanks Gayle, I'm glad you liked it.

CayCay Godwin March 28, 2018 at 10:38 AM Oh, Chris - just let me breath inside your poems, skipping as a lark from one to the other as their emotion intoxicates my poetry adrenaline. No matter how emotive in any emotional direction, the poet and muse in me, skip, they do, with glee. This is an awesome write, I'm skipping on the inside. Poetry hugs ... CayCay Chris Green April 2, 2018 at 8:49 PM Your wonderful comments always make me smile. Thank you so much

Demetrios Trifiatis March 26, 2018 at 7:00 AM True, the heart loses its reason when falls in love but it creates a reason of its own which beats uncontrollably in the rhythm of emotions! Well written my friend, Chris! Chris Green April 2, 2018 at 8:48 PM Thanks so very much my friend

Kai Michael Neumann March 26, 2018 at 2:33 AM This is a great love poem. And life is looser than we think. Associations rock and a stream of consciousness is real. Chris Green April 2, 2018 at 8:47 PM Thanks so much for reading and commenting. I appreciate your kindness
