Willow

I sit beneath the willow

near the river.

I wish you were next to me, 

but you're gone.

Aren't you?

Or was I just imagining 

that painful goodbye,

those silent tears, 

the sleepless nights?

No, I'm not imagining that anymore than I'm imagining

the willow I'm sitting under,

the flowers dancing in the wind,

the river lapping at the shore 

the love you showed me.

But now you and your love are gone.

Really powerful poem. Keep writing.

sooo much passion and love expressed here... although it looks to be sad poem, it was nicely written that it is looking very amazing with so many images and nice word picking.

i have really enjoyed every line specially the image of the river and flowers....very nice writing
