Love Poem: The Waiting Place

The Waiting Place

Beneath the willow, there she lays
Full bodied figure on display
Quiet, peaceful, sound asleep
She waits for him, a date to keep

As shadow reaches upon her face
She awakens in that peaceful place
Where all her dreams do, there, come true
When, quickly, her eyes open to you

With crystal settings, her eyes, then wide
Show her feelings felt deep inside
A hand, she reaches for his, too
To touch her heart, refresh anew

With voice so soft, she whispers sweet
Words of love, to a lyrical beat
Together there, they share a dance,
In willows embrace, set to romance
