Willow Maid


Willow Maid
by bank of stream
render unto me
moonlight’s beam

In thinnest nail
still light doth shine
render unto me
the love of thine

Allow a shimmer
in her beauteous eyes
yield forth to me
her sweet surprise

With willow’s wand
invoke thy muse
let Erato forth
and her lyrics loose

Upon your wand
as Earth doth spin
bring me my love
let me draw her within

Upon this green bank
by flowing stream
bring to my love
some ancients’ dream

Should a Fay
come play some fraud
lend thee protection
with thy willow’s rod

Steal away not
my love from me
for she is my soul
and my harmony

O Willow Maid
in thin moonlight
cast thy shadows
in purest light

Let not the Graces
come steal me away
for by my love
shall I ever stay

Sigh - lovely - willows are poetic, aren't they?

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.

It's really all we have, isn't it? At least all that is worthwhile. Love. Just that.

I come to your writing to learn and be pleased, and you never fail me.  Well done!  I'm glad you reposted, for I'd not seen this one.  KJ

and I am haunted
by my illicit exquisite dream
but I can't really wake up
so I just drift in between

Sigh.....sigh, and more sighs

You are a magical enchantress of words...
exquisitly done...thank you

Lovely willow! Lovely you...
