TWO LOVEBIRDS an allegory

my love, we have nestled long in 

the towers of the warm summer days, oblivious

to the earth's cold turning

so many nights your silken body lay against mine

making me sleepless and worshipful at your side

so many times i have tasted your proud serious kisses

that seemed to speak of anything but departure

felt your touch whuch calmed any notion of flight

now our wings flutter in the chilly october twilight

and your voice is like a note of music dying

across these cooling hills

i have loved you as only i know how to love you

and lost you without reason

what is that world on the other side

you are now turned towards?

what thought of breeze or green vista

beckons your strange wayward spirit?

will you carry my look as it gazed so adoringly

into your eyes? like i will carry yours my only love?

caged against my heart forever
