Lines of your poetry are pressed into my skin,

Burnt into my flesh,

I know only of you,

.

.

.

Please,

I beg the sun and moon to allow me to see you one last time,

But they say it proves only that we should be apart, and that I should end up alone

.

✿

.

I fly with wings made of chains and lean into the current of your thoughts,

These chains are bathed in the light that you brought with you upon meeting me,

I am but a servant, fallen for your charm,

I’ve been watching too many historical fiction shows,

But I’m the honey on your arm,

I’ve fallen for the preacher in the church of my town,

He seems to heal my wounds, and chase away my frown,

.

.

They say none is like the love of a poets’ recital,

When they sing, they shelter you with their warmth,

I’ve heard of such things, but never knew of them to be true,

That is, until I headed North, and I saw you.

And up there, I saw a tavern I never thought I’d see,

With weeping willows and footmen that shed their tears as they bleed,

Upon the trunk, an inscription, this is what it reads:

.

*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡

why do weeping willows weep, I ask myself?

how come they have such sweet bark to eat

❥

as I’m there, under it- it stares back at me

I peel the bark back and eat from its seed

but the weeping willow continues to weep by my feet.

*.:｡✧*.｡✰*.:｡✧*.｡:｡

I went up to the tree and took off my shoes,

Climbed up the branches, with a footman or two,

Went all the way to the top, and looked to the south,

To my great surprise, I saw you.

❅

I peered over the edge and fell in your eyes,

You climbed up the branches, with your hands on mine

As you reach the top, I pulled you up, a sea of ladybugs and fireflies comfort us as they join together to be our bed,

And there we lay, as if on air- and in a sense, we were alone,

.

But mother nature is always watching,

So don’t do anything cheeky,

.
