Array ( [sid] => 156858 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Willows [time] => 2010-01-21 20:08:25 [hometext] => [bodytext] => I lay beneath the lance leaves,
Enjoying the dark they give
From the gentle summer sun,
I inhale the dense mist
That hovers over the clear lake
Beside me,
As my eyes begin to flutter
Into a deep slumber
A voice travels the wind
And invades my ears,
A soft laugh echoing
Beside me,
I see her in the distance,
Shrouded in the blankets
Of the willow trees,
Dancing ever closer
Her voice so paralyzing
Beside me,
As the willows lift their veil
I see her in her transparent dress,
It twirls around her body
Taunting me with its revelations,
My heart hammers, longing her
Beside me,
As the prisoner in my chest
Tries to break free
She falls beside me,
Her pale body touching mine
And her eyes gazing
Through me,
My eyes blur
From the coming tears,
She brushes my cheek
With her winter touch
And presses her lips to mine
Enchanting me,
I try to speak
But the wind captivates her,
Sweeping her up into its arms
It carries her toward the lake,
Her stare disappearing into the mist
Away from me,
My heart burns,
My eyes flood,
For long ago
She fled life
And became a memory
Beside me

Willows

I lay beneath the lance leaves,
Enjoying the dark they give
From the gentle summer sun,
I inhale the dense mist
That hovers over the clear lake
Beside me,
As my eyes begin to flutter
Into a deep slumber
A voice travels the wind
And invades my ears,
A soft laugh echoing
Beside me,
I see her in the distance,
Shrouded in the blankets
Of the willow trees,
Dancing ever closer
Her voice so paralyzing
Beside me,
As the willows lift their veil
I see her in her transparent dress,
It twirls around her body
Taunting me with its revelations,
My heart hammers, longing her
Beside me,
As the prisoner in my chest
Tries to break free
She falls beside me,
Her pale body touching mine
And her eyes gazing
Through me,
My eyes blur
From the coming tears,
She brushes my cheek
With her winter touch
And presses her lips to mine
Enchanting me,
I try to speak
But the wind captivates her,
Sweeping her up into its arms
It carries her toward the lake,
Her stare disappearing into the mist
Away from me,
My heart burns,
My eyes flood,
For long ago
She fled life
And became a memory
Beside me
