Bedfellow

My thoughts are like a weeping willow
Grabbing softly at my pillow.
Gracing like a snow white dove
In the brilliant light of love

And glistening dew glows like stars
Lighting up a sky of tar
Sweeping blaze into my eyes
Blinding me with hypnotize.

The willows have become a part
Tentacles deep in my heart
Visiting me a nightly seem
Deep within a nightly dream

I cannot separate the two
The willow and my thoughts of you
Both are like a dream to me
Like a brew that turns to tea

Punchinello and bedfellow
Weeping willow and my pillow.

Oh my goodness Sy ... I cannot pick a favorite line!  The flow in this was absolutely delightful ... it was as if it sang it's own melody within my mind. Just wonderful!

Best wishes,

Punchinello and bedfellow

=================================
thy muse returns !!!  


only you could come up with the image "sky of tar" and make me see the stars.
very very cool Stinky.
~~~~~~~~

Meet me at midnight under the willow tree,
beneath the stars, we'll have tea till three.
I'll wish a wish that your dreams no longer weep ...
from now on you will sleep in the star's safe keep.

Sunshine,
Of course,

JM,
We tete-a-tete a world of wait
And drink our tea far out at sea.
The Eden gaden of our fate
Is only sate to part my state

The other part plays moody coy
And makes a face that looks like poi.

Poi, a hawaian paste food that
tastes terrible. LOL
Winkiewinkie Randy Stinky Love ya

Thank you Noah.

Victoria,
Thank you sweet.

Seymour darling boy this is utterly utterly utterly amazing. You’ve picked up the melody within and spun it into a moonbeam dream. A starry confection of delight. YOU do know I love this don’t you? I thought you’d probably pick up the subtle and delicate nuances of my rapture. I can never do subtle anyway

I’m stunned into silence this is soooooooo brilliant, this really IS writingpas excellence

Love and warm stuff

I wonder if weeping willows really do dream...and if they could, would they use pillows to dream on? Lovely poem Seymour!

Seymour, I know you didn't write this for me, but is it okay if I pretend?  I kept this one, as the words speak to me in a very, very special way.  I would like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for writing this one, and Sunshine for sending it to me, as I missed it somehow, and THIS I needed to read today.  If you were here I would hug you, so tell your wife I plan on giving you one for this the day I meet you
