“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!
