A Poem by Crystal Overmeyer-Birmingham
"

In truth I don't really like rhyming poetry, but this is about my husband and he brings out the hopeless romantic in me.

"
If I with eyes unwept 
on you before laid sight 
could mine eyes be 
washed clean enough 
to view you in true light? 

And what if you captured 
mine heart before the start 
would I, Nay, could I allow 
you the conquerors part 
or should I without the grife
I've know pass you by 
blind to the love you've shown 

And if my past is but a start 
and you, my love, the finish  
Than I, My past, give heaven thanks 
and would not one memory diminish

I don't like writing or reading rhyming poetry usually either. But I do enjoy it when it's well done. This was executed flawlessly. No redundancies whatsoever, no alterations of true meaning behind it. It's a success. Likewise, I like how it feels olden; I feel immersed into the middle ages and courtship love.

About
I am a poet by nature. Words just speak to me and color my world. I away think of poetry as painting with phases, just as vibrant and life giving as they are messy and complex. more..
