Your Ways

Your Ways

A Poem by willweb

~

“Shadows grow so long before my eyes”

In silhouettes of dreams past and present
Deep within my desperate heart,
as I yearn for your love, reaching for my pen,
digging through postage stamps and paperclips

“And they’re moving, across the page”

Producing odd shapes on striped paper,
outlines of shaded emotions and verses
Calling out your name in bold ink
and rhyming stanzas of affection

“Suddenly the day turns into night”

Twilight steps over the horizon
as tree top edges touch newly glowing stars
Peering through curtains of cosmic lace
and flickering candlelight with soft breezes

“Far away, from the city”

Miles counted by minutes can be
a daunting task if I hesitate, yet footsteps in the dark
follow paths illumined by your eyes,
as my need grows for your love…I just can’t wait

“Oooh baby, I love your ways”

~

Will, as always, these poetic words drip with romance. Beautiful and so full of images. Very nicely done.

Damn, now I got Frampton's ear wig on a continual loop in my head. Could be worse I suppose. Least it's not journey you were inspired by.

in all seriousness, lovely poem. Thanks for the invite to read Will. Not able to indulge as much at the moment. but definitely send me invites to anything u think I shouldn't miss.

Thank you so very much
Incorporating lyrics the way you have into your writing is something I have never thought of doing. It works so well here. You have resurrected a name from the past as well. A much loved song. This is another beautiful offering from your talented pen will. You never disappoint. A lovely piece.
