Here’s another poem from my newest poetry book My Whisperings.

You can find more information about my poetry books on THIS page.

The Weeping Willow

Sitting peacefully

Underneath the weeping willow

Keeping all my thoughts of you

Deep inside of me

Cherishing, protecting

My last thoughts of you

–

Hiding anxiously

Underneath the weeping willow

Holding all my love for you

Deep inside of me

Bleeding, crying

My lost love for you

–

Lying blissfully

Underneath the weeping willow

Holding all my memories of you

Deep inside of me

Remembering, missing

All of you

–

Closing my eyes

Underneath the weeping willow

I feel Death

Deep inside of me

Stop breathing, living

Without you…

Just Patty

Patty, this is an absolutely gorgeous poem. Just the weeping willow hides all beneath within its branches, so the heart holds of all the pain, memories, and love. Great symbolism.

I have a weeping willow down at my back pond. Why do weeping willows bring this feeling of weeping? I am always amazing how their leaves drop close to the water but never into the water. I love this poem it’s so wonderful and beautiful just like you! Hugs and love to you Patty! ❤

Patty, “The Weeping Willow” in words just like the photo here stays with the reader ….it has such an impact, connects…..I have always felt that there is something almost hypnotic about the repetition of words…here “Underneath the weeping willow”….& when appropriate I have used repetition of a phrase in giving a speech or small talk or especially in a tribute to a person. It brings out a “rise” in the audience. Love this one too!!!!!!!!!! Phil

  Thank you Phil! 🙂
  I adore the weeping willow, it’s such a beautiful tree. It feels safe to sit underneath it, but also a bit sad.
  Lots of love ❤
