Let Me Be Your Willow

Just let me be your willow
You've already seen me cry
Weeping on the outside
Tired of trying to hide

Come to me and I'll bow down
So I can hear your problems
Tenderly wipe your tears off
With the vines of my heart
I shall conquer your fears

Sit beneath my shadow
I'll sheild you from the sun
Whisper all your dreams and secrets
I'll become your paper
Just make your soul your pen
Scribble your thoughts all over me
Your troubled mind, let me mend

You can listen to my music
How the delicate and graceful breeze flows
Peace fills the air
Let everything go

Writing continuously
Release all your emotions you've been bottling
Become one with me
Place your hand in mine
I'll take you to a world of no harm
Take you on an adventure

Clear your head
All is done and said
I'm your paper
You're the pen
Free your mind of everything
From beginning to end

As I kneel down by your side
I promise I will be your guide.

Hugs and kisses

That was really good! It was sweet and I really pictured stuff in my mind. I had this image of a willow just by a lake and some troubled person coming there and feeling comforted, then they kept on coming back. I don't know, it's hard to explain, but that's what I thought of. So it was really, really good and I'm glad I read it!!

I've personally enjoyed poetry as a reader is allowed to "branch" away from the traditional in the box thinking.

I had a real lively feeling, breath of life and feeling from the Willow and the person or was preparing to enter or had entered the Willow's shelter.

Beautifully written Alice. Thankyou for sharing :)

Fleur de Lis

This is amazing! And I'm not the kind that says this on absolutely EVERYONE'S story trying to be cheesy or whatever. I love how the metaphor is completely unique, and I love your usage of words!
Love
