Little Bird Poetry

Notes dance through the air Catching lights I throw on a track You lift me up And we dance Slowly Barefoot On worn wooden floors Your feet have no rhythm Your hips an ungraceful sway Arms strong as they hold me Close to your heart Your voice rolls sweet Down my flushed cheeks As lyrics roll out Wrapping around us And closing the gap What a way To avoid sleep Hours tik by As I memories are made

Better with age Each and every day Things grow And new beginnings bloom Opening eyes to new early mornings Between soft sheets A smile crossing lips of one Once a stranger Finding his way in To a place you'd forgotten could be reached Sitting there On your kitchen counter In your old teeshirt Watching you glance up at me from the stove Sparks flying Like the dinner You accidentally set on fire Laughter fills the halls Of a now shared home Yellow walls and wooden floors Now a stage on which we play Whispers pass between soft lips Telling secrets of our pasts Longing glances shared Over waves of music Falling upon open ears And thrown wide hearts Ready to let the other in
