“YOUR NAME IS WILLOW” by Bill Charles ~~~~ The forest path was overgrown, and I wandered endlessly, until a clearing I did come, from where I know not, actually… You were standing there, in front of a delightful cottage, and when I walked towards you, I was captivated, by your beautiful image… I asked you for your name, and when you answered me, it was the prettiest one I thought, that there ever could be… You said your name was ‘Willow’, to me it seemed fitting, but sometimes they called you ‘Willie’, which I thought was so very charming… Someone such as you, have I but dreamed my lonely life away, rich brown hair flowing, cascading down your shoulders, in display… Soft blue eyes I could see, to mine they would only beckon, and your lips were so inviting, I felt the magic, of their addiction… In an instant I thought, I would never leave this place, as I would pledge myself to you, and give my warmest embrace… You are the one in my dreams, two hearts now, as one will flow, I am very content, to have toiled down that path, for I met that special someone, whose name is ‘Willow’… ~~~~ |

What beautiful peaceful images you've painted here. You've captured a gentle grace and beauty in "Willow" and rather a "entering a new stage in life" with the entire poem. I wondered briefly was it real or a dream and then I wondered if that mattered.  I decided it didn't. More important I think is the emotions it leaves the reader with. Nice one, Bill!  "The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new. Socrates |
