Clive Culverhouse Poet Rhyme

Spaceman Come Knocking

spaceman come knocking on my door
said he gonna tell the night
said he gonna tell the star

I said one day soon
he’ll be far
his eyes were bright
but mine were too

and he
most distant man I’d ever see
boots were wide
padded suit
to see him through the galaxy

yet I’ll be here
spaceman there
opposite points in history
with every life in between

spaceman come knocking space’s door
said he gonna be blood of earth
said he gonna go explore

and off
              bleed
                        carry our torch

Clive Culverhouse September 9, 2024 at 2:40 AM Actually I wrote it then changed the style of wording to resemble lyrics instead of prose, so you're on the mark with your comment, thanks Arthur
