Willow Woman

By h2whoa

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

Whisper wistfully, Willow Woman, You know that I can hear your song. Let the golden tide bring like fire Warmth to the Ice Man's face; Silently seeking soft seduction, Let the thaw begin. Know that when I lay there In the blackened back-alley, Consuming the filth of a thousand Civilisations, I couldn't even bleed. As the rats ran over to view their bounty, The sewers hissed their contempt, I looked up at the harsh neon-glare Of "Viva" and "Osiris" signs Flickering at me. And as the mist engulfed the Ice Man's body When the neon "Viva" flickered out, Know now, Willow Woman, That he thought lovingly of you. Your wistful song entered his mind, And turned his form to water. Written February 7th, 2002 © on Feb 07 2002 02:20 AM PST   18 • 0 • 1
