Willow Whispers

By Cinara

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Willow Whispers Willow whispers haunt my mind In hushed words from another time Unspoken love vowed in a breath Will follow me until my death ’Twas on a windy night like this That passion brewed within a kiss The visions flash of lying free The two below the willow tree The silence of their love within Was spoken only in the wind And when he left that lovely place There was no promise to embrace A haunting vision still appears Within my mind through all the years A perfect love, no spoken vows Below the graceful drifting bows    A lover’s curtain willow weaves With oval moon between the leaves And oh, the sound, the silent sound Of willow whispers all around Now every time the willows blow It takes me back to long ago And conjures up a memory Of sorrow laced with ecstasy And still my heart in silence grieves When wind blows through the willow leaves Written February 7th, 2002 © on Feb 07 2002 04:55 AM PST   0 • 8
