Slowly, night approached.
Street-lamps are ablaze.
From up high I watch
As the willow sways.

Coiled smoke floats high
From my cigarette,
As I wonder why
You and I have met.

When I heard you speak,
I was hypnotized
And my knees got weak
When I saw your eyes.

Life was fine somehow
Just before you came,
But I know that now
It won’t be the same.

I can’t even think...
All appears so blurred...
Bonded by the ring,
I can’t part with her...

But, my heart is yours
And with you it stays.
Silence. Nothing stirs,
Just the willow sways.

I really love this piece... beautiful description of "hopeless love". Like Albert said, some great imagery and flow. Thanks for sharing.

I often relate the Willow tree with lonliness and depression. Do you?
I liked this poem. Thought the ending was superb.

I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
