Chris Green Poet Rhyme

Lost In a Moment Between Now and Then

`

Lost in a moment between now and then
gazing ahead at the moon
Calling your number again and again
maybe I wondered too soon

Balanced alone on the edge of a shelf
clinging to what I believe
Looking at no one except at myself
something I’ve yet to conceive

Destiny answers the memories shown
dreams I have placed on the sill
Dance in the shadows of times I have known
somehow it seems that they will

For here I sit on a couch in the dark
thinking if only you knew
Closing my eyes as my thoughts do embark
how much I am missing you

Every handle on every door
spins as if time has a place
Locking the feeling of love evermore
broken this heart that I trace

Now all I have are these echoes I send
tapering off down the hall
Lost in a moment between now and then
silent in spite of it all

John Hamilton August 28, 2019 at 9:56 AM Great writing Chris, your phrase about echoes in the hall remind me of Jim Cuddy's song pull me through, I'm sure you would like him his style actually reminds me of your work, although he's very country, I know you're in Texas but not sure if you have country leanings, any way, he's the lead singer of Blue Rodeo a cool Canadian country band, one of my faves! Chris Green August 28, 2019 at 10:19 AM That's really cool. I like a bit of country but I am more a rock and roll guy. I do really like what they call down here Texas music. It is an edgier kind of country that is really good. Check out The Mike McClure Band if you get a chance. They are one of my faves.

Andrea Dietrich August 26, 2019 at 6:28 PM you are so amazing. Not only do you use fantastic imagery but you have perfect rhyme and meter. You did the theme perfectly. To my mind, romance or lost love sprang up immediately! Chris Green August 27, 2019 at 6:56 AM Thank you Andrea. That is such a nice thing to say. I appreciate your visit to my poetry.
