Weeping Willow

Weeping Willow The way your toes curl when you first wake up, yes I have been there to see this. The way your nose wrinkles as you start to laugh, to this also I have been witness. You twirl your hair and click your teeth when deep thoughts keep you guessing And the way your eyes alight with flame when no longer the answers are vexing Your lips pucker without thought of a kiss when something to you is amusing About the crazy ideas that I might be having or a book you might be perusing. I have seen you in the embers of a raging fire, and on the waves that crash upon the shore I have heard you in the whisper of a windswept leaf as it dances upon the forest floor I have felt you within a single drop of rain that nature brings to cleanse the earth I have tasted no greater flavor than this, the nectar garnered from a true loves birth I have smelled your beauty within the aroma of jasmine, honey, mint and Cinnamon I have known you from the dawn of time, the cadence of two hearts abridged as one And when you go to bed at night for some reason my shirts are more comfortable Than the many things in the past I bought you that your lips told me were unaffordable. And I have dried the tears that flowed from your eyes when agony came to break your heart Your brows would furrow as sleep would take you, tomorrow would bring a brand new start But regardless of this and nonetheless you snuggle in close and at night you shift your pillow To the cooler side the place that brings solace on the opposite poll of the weeping willow
