To ponder The Willows Tale!



Finally, again, I, breathe!
 I realized, this voice, those, words, this feeling!
Is, love, you've got me!
 At, a time, in my life, when, I knew, something, was right, there, she was!
Perfect, as, I, we follow, the light, while, the eagles, do fly, a tree, drew my eyes!
 A monster, you are!
It screamed, at me, all, you love is her!
 At least, your not, a disease!
You love, the air, I prefer, it hot, no oxygen!
 All, is, as, creation, would have it!
I opened, my door, to find, green hangers!
 What, a world!
Yet, I saw, not, who, left them!
 Deep, in, my mind, I knew, all, was right!
My woman, my all, so exhausted!
 Away, on the clouds, just, to come, right, back down!
At least, my trees, will not, fault this!
 Birds, of, a feather, will, flock, together, I accept, that, I love, her, quite often!
Some, may despise, that look, on, my eyes, for her, I would, adapt ,and, just focus!
 Being, a man, has, good times, as well!
I come, back, to my scenses, when, she calls, me!
 So instead, of, the wild, guess, for once, my heart melts, as, the ice, she touches!
He loves, you, I remind, her, quite often!
