Willowy

The Pleasure that abideth for a moment... The Sorrow that endureth for ever... for a friend this poem isn't worthy of

Maybe I’m a parasite

Who longs for your shade.
Or maybe a lost firefly,
In the wilderness,
Blinking meekly for your grace.
You came upon this dreary land,
Coloured it with your sleightless hands.

It's not only that scent
That sent me in your day-dream
It's not even those eyes innocent
Only!
 A voice
That speaks as if a shy stream
From rainfall in my dry melodies
Soaks and graces
Deities and ditties.

I can stand thousand reasons
Why you seem the only beacon…
But they thwart me to reach you,
Yet I will be standing on your porch.
Yet I will hold the flowers till the end,
Because I have seen the glaze of a burning sun
On thine moist cheeks,
And when they blush, God can’t create anything
More beautiful!
Words, with, all pages I’ll fill up,
But nay! I can never come to the end
Of my musings, about you.
A lover in the guise of a friend
I am and I cannot pretend
I’m not fallen.
And yes I have,
For this willowy one God has made…

such deep engagement with the image and extremely well written, well done

[Laura Maidah]

Best thing I've ever read you write

[Myra]

I love how you compared the man to a parasite longing to have such a beautiful woman as you have described.

[Bobbie Coelho]

This is a very descriptive piece, and hen you read it it flows like willow through the breeze. There's also an element of sadness, the willow stands rooted, but the other one moves. A good poem.
