Everlasting Love

Sitting beneath the weeping willow
Starring at the waters face, which mirrors the world
While the willow’s leaves whisper in the wind
Gently speaking of loves long lost
Upon the swift scythe of  death
Also known as time

My hopes shattered
My heart weakened
My vision blurred
From this fateful blow

For as I searched for you
In the time we would spend together
I found you with him
The one of whom you hated and reviled
With all your heart and soul
Yet now  you cherish him ?
For what?
His stupidity?
His addictions?
His lies?

He reeks of deception
A most vile thing indeed

My heart shattered
My spirit broken
I mearly nod to you
Moving on

To find this sacred place
Beneath the willow’s leaves
While thoughts of you flit through my mind
As my spirit pulses through every pour of my body
I open my eyes to see the sun piercing through the leaves

Reminding me it’s not over yet
It has just begun
For the tiny flame of hope
still burns within my heart
A flame that can never
Be extinguished through
All the passing of time
I slip in to meditation
While the willow whispers
Of days gone by
And loves long past
My heart rages through
My spirit's disarray
Yet I am calmed in a sense
By the sanctity of this place
And by the hope which
Remains eternal
Like my love for you
Which is everlasting




It's too bad I'm not as wonderful a person as people say I am, because the world could use a few people like that.
I've learned that even when you th

Beautiful write.  A very vivid picture you paint, and a sad, touching tale. The girl is the one missing out, not you. I loved your word choice and the mental images brought to mind, it gave me goose bumps!!! I loved it!!

A very good poem indeed- excelent imagery. It really gets to your mind and your heart, makes you feel, what all good poems should do.

If you can't put it into words
What use is your heart
If you can't share it with the one you love
Don't waste your gift
Given to you by the creater from above" - Me
