Oh Old Tree

A little love poem for a special someone

As we walk in the rain, she shivers in the cold 

I give her my coat, standing under a tree so old 

As the tree questions, aren't you freezing, stranger? 

How could I be cold, when my heart is ablaze, stronger 

Than a million suns, it fights off the frigid weather

 Fueled by her love, oh old tree tell me whether, 

You ve ever seen a woman of such beauty, trot under your shade? 

Oh tell me have you ever seen such eyes, with amber they were made 

Crafted by dwarves, in the core of this land 

Passed to the overworld, never touched by a single hand 

Oh tell me old tree, have you ever seen such a smile 

Nations have collapsed, looking mile after mile

For a treasure as such, filled with pearls so pure 

When I'm down in despair, her laugh is my cure 

Oh tell me old tree, have you ever seen such beauty 

It s not been witnessed, since Cleopatra and Nefertiti 

Look at you old tree, took off your leafy coat 

To nurture the ground, which keeps you standing foot 

So tell me old tree, why not take off mine too 

To sustain my backbone, my lovely little view
