Joseph May Poet Rhyme

Notes About The Poem

Trees

The tree that held the forbidden fruit
     Held our destiny within its root
 The ancient secrets that it kept
     May hold the tears that the willow wept

 The tree that holds  the robin's nest
     Holds life most precious, it is blessed
 The tree from which nightingales sing
     Holds the melody until spring

 But the tree that I will forever miss
   Is the tree under which we kissed
  So long ago our hearts did leap
   With sweet caress and passions deep
         The tree where hearts will meet in bliss
    Is the tree that holds tomorrow's kiss
