Chris Green Poet Rhyme

We Met At the Crossroads

We met at the crossroads
A border between us
Enjoying the chill in the air

Maple leaf whispers 
Where no one could listen
Feelings our hearts longed to share

Poetic sunsets
In hibiscus shimmers
Dreams sent adrift on the sea

Firefly kisses
Alone in the twilight
So much in love, you and me

Then in a wind storm
The leaves began swirling
A cloud in the sky did appear

Blocking the sunlight
The warmth of our passion
Filling my body with fear

You started walking
A different direction
Down on my knees I just fell

No sense in praying
For you were my heaven
And now life for me became hell

Some days I wonder
Well, honestly always
If I ever cross through your mind

Do you remember 
Our moments together 
And all of the love we did find

We met at the crossroads
A border between us
That day I will never forget 

But now I sit lonely
My poor heart is broken
Reliving the day that we met
