Crimson Sunbird

I want to be

where our hearts and souls dwell

entwined as one

≈♦≈

I long for you

the way the moon needs the stars

and crimson sunbirds crave nectar

≈♦≈

come  

put your hand in mine

I’ll guide you to the place 

where our first kiss lingers in time

≈♦≈

and our initials are engraved 

on willow skin

its leaves die of envy 

≈♦≈

dawn’s aroused by our embrace

blushing like a maiden

when we awake 

in each other's arms

≈♦≈

our bed is ablaze 

with whispers and sighs

echoes of passion

≈♦≈

your chocolate-covered berries

melt on my lips and hands

when you're nearby

≈♦≈

you are my valentine

and all I want

is YOU
