Upon The Shaded River Bank Poem by ANDREW BLAKEMORE
Upon The Shaded River Bank
Upon the shaded river bank
Where willows weep on water's edge,
And drape the sympathetic shore
That to my heart shall yield,
Some comfort as I sit and rest
And gaze across the surface calm
A mirror of the August sky
And pray my wounds be healed.
I listen as the birds do sing
Upon the boughs that gently move,
Within the breeze that softly calls
Her sweet name unto me,
A breath so warm with tender touch
That melts the chill of lonely days,
But yet I know she'll never come
To end my misery.
Upon the shaded river bank
My only thoughts to be with her,
And so these tears shall never dry
Until I find relief,
The graceful swan who swims alone
And so forlornly bows her head,
As she does search in vain for love
I too now share her grief.
And if there was a way of saying it, then perhaps this is it, the heartache that you endured but wait Andrew, is that a glimpse of light I see on the horizen? Great poetry my friend Love duncan X
Shades of Ophelia? Reflections in deep waters? Numerology? Promises of wealth? Is willow (2nd line) really meant to be singular or plural? Do you mean either/or or both (i.e.all) - where willow/s weep/s perhaps? Best bardic wishes, Gwilym Williams
This poem to me is a sparkling gem, delightfully captured through your pen! *10*! ! Best regards Friend Thad
