Marry a poet--
she'll tell you the universe in a sonnet.
She expresses her affection in a poem,
for endlessly, to a bard;
you are an anthem.
Christopher Mar 2021
It was not in the applause that I found his love
nor in the merits of worldly truth
It was not found in the praise of those above
Nor in any earthly proof

I did not find his love in the City streets
Or in bodies of flesh and bone
Nor in man's great selfish feats
Or on any earthly throne

No, I found his love right on the mountainside
And in the river that runs right through
I found it in the forest hills
I found his love in you.

I found it in the ocean waves
And in the stars above
And in all the master’s divine creation
I feel my savior's love

Of many pairs of eyes i've seen
all lack the sparkle and virtue of yours
as if the deep blue sea serene
in thy eyes to me lures
oft upon thee have I glanced
and felt the warmth upon thy skin
and from thine eyes, find I myself entranced
with the beauty that doth lie within

yet shalt thou ne'er discover
the feelings that within me rest
and from afar, shall I suffer
that we, as friends, be best
forever shalt thou be to me the pinnacle of creation
and forever still shalt thine eyes shine as the doors to my salvation
this is the first sonnet I've written

I chase the pretty things in life
that leave me

I bike towards sunsets that
Flee towards twilight
And seek smiles that bury themselves
Into melancholy hearts

Silently I creep towards
Dreams that play in technicolor slides
That hold pictures of you and I
Trapped in yesterday’s dreams

And we dance and we sway
In the white chocolate moonlight
Till you gently fade away
Along with the night

I wish upon the morning
And all its stars to keep
My lonely heart busy enough
To keep from missing you

And to hope and faith
And light and shadow
And love and its sisters
I pray

That you may never curse a heart
As harshly
As cruelly
As truly
As you did mine
Written during one of the greatest sunsets I've ever witnessed

Her smile
Sends
Shockwaves
Through my body
Slowly
Ever so slowly
Pressing
Her bright red lips
Onto mine
Then
I wait
For the aftershock
Of her emerald green eyes
Lighting up
My night sky
Christopher Oct 2017
As the birds
Flutter around
Unbounded
I see the trees
Bend with the wind
How immovable
Yet fluid.
So too are we
Steadfast
Yet
Forever changing
Christopher Oct 2017
Your eyes
are as the roaring sea
Your lips
as the rolling waves
Your smile
the sound of the water against the rocks.
