Willow Willow weeping in the Californian night green glowing light faded with auburn in the first sigh of autumn filling the air college girl smelling the air the magic inside her filling me the song inside me singing in my ears, yellowing under the sun burning for one so free and young with a blue sweater and a crooked smile illuminating the world for a while then fades into the night I can see it sometimes in the light of the waning moon lonely in her dorm room for some other love, I know so I just press my loving glow into a red leaf of October fair as brilliantly red as her hair hoping she'll feel love falling out of the blue sky above sky written in warm hues from me to her, to use when she feels doubt even if she goes out with some other love for me, it's enough to see her easing pain to see her happy again weeping willow brightening like an ember of sunrise it's such a beautiful suprise "Poets are all who love, who feel great truths, and tell them; and the truth of truths is love." --Philip James Bailey |

You will have no idea just how beautiful I think this poem is but trust me you absolutely did a Willow proud. I printed this and kept it in a very special book I have. Thank you. |

Thank you, glad you liked it! Actually, odd as it may sound, this was inspired by the character Willow from the TV show Buffy The Vampire Slayer, which is/was actually a very funny, yet very dramatic, character-driven show. Willow's my favorite character from the show; a cute, redheaded, powerful witch. So that all led me to write this poem. Again, I'm happy you enjoyed it so much.

Well my Willow too was a fiery red-haired "witch" too LOL, and the best friend I ever had. Unfortunately she is an angel now, and missed terribly. Loved your poem |
