After Loving You

Love, Like A Bird

 

Love, Like A Bird

I found some love in a world of lovelessness

It tumbled at my feet like a bird out of a nest

I picked it up and held it in my hand

It spoke to me but I didn't understand.

So I took it home and put it in my room

With lots of sun and space to help it bloom

I tended it and mended it's broken wing

And after many days, I heard it sing.

Never having heard a song of love

I wondered what this unknown thing was made of

And soon the wondrous marvel, with my aid

Began to find it's strength there as we played.

It hung about my shoulders happily

And sang and kept it's trusting eyes on me

And through the days and nights with stars above

A world once loveless there, we fell in love.

And love taught me so much I never knew

How to know the false from what was true

How to tell the flatteries from charms

And captivated me within it's arms.

Each day I woke in joy and rose in bliss

Hungry for love's touch and for it's kiss

Tearing down the walls around my heart

I let my fear and loneliness depart.

Who knows what love is truly or can be

A mountain's height or depth of silver sea 

Unbridled passion or a sweet embrace

Love changes form and often times, it's face.

We lived and loved like people ought to live

Giving love like lovers ought to give

No thought had I that it would ever end

That I would lose my lover and my friend.

I danced with it in joy around the room

So unaware of shadow or of gloom

The windows opened wide on that bright day

And when I wasn't looking, my love just flew away.

Finishing Touches

 

What If

What if I

And what if you

Took a lie

And made it true?

What if one day

And what if they

Gave back to us

What they took away?

What if, what if

If you and me

Shared all the love

There'll ever be?

And what if you

And what if I

Could stop not caring

And dare to try?

What if they're real

The things that seem

So real in fantasy

And outside dream?

What if we wake

To a bright new morn

That love creates

And be reborn?

What if this woman

What if this man

Become one from two

If you take my hand?

What if's the question

And the heavy blow

But if you don't answer

We'll never know.

What if.........................?
