Little Girl, Maybe

Little Girl, Maybe

A Poem by Riley Bray
"

She stores our youth in the back of our minds so if ever we want to dig into it, it is ready.

"
There's a little girl, far away
And quietly, does she lay
And on certain days, lucky days
When she sings and she dances and wildly plays
In Eve's garden outside in many ways,

Love is sprung, from an ocean,
Deep within, our emotions,
Oh sweet divine, devotions
Still our brainless commotion,
And set free the formula of the ecstasy potion.

She fools currents into changing
Forces sadness to start rearranging
Switches lust for love and want for need, exchanging
Constantly gauging (us)
All the while she's never aging,

And she resides
Where lay dormant our minds
Where not can we fathom her kind
So incredibly refined
For positivity raw and undefined.

Her soul swift and escaping
Untouchable and gaping
Over me, her spell is draping
Small body reshaping
And despite all, barely scraping (by).

There's a little girl,far away
And quietly, does she lay.
Where love is sprung, from an ocean,
Stilling our brainless commotion.
She fools currents into changing
Forces sadness to start rearranging.
And she resides
Where lay dormant our minds.
Her soul swift and escaping
And despite all, barely scraping (by).

There's a little girl, maybe,
If you allow yourself to find her.

Oh! I'm glad you liked it, by the way. xP
what you have accomplished here is not easy to do, and even though a couple of your rhymes feel slightly forced, they all work quite well and you have achieved the improbable with a rhyme at the end of every line...then there's that last, long stanza followed by a single couplet...changes the game plan some, but by no means ruins the theme or the rhythm of this piece.... i would have made the last line say "if you allow yourself to find her"...but that is me, not you....a good write!
