Love Birds

Two birds by the shore, watching the sky above
So young and innocent, yet so in love
Seeing the sun sinking in the horizon
Worried yet glad for who-knows-what reason

“Where should we stay? It’s getting dark.”
“I don’t know. Maybe by the fountain at the park?”
A playful peck from the girl with feathers that glow
A feeble smile from the boy “It’s far, I know.”

A place to rest was hard to find
For tireless dangers that linger in our minds
But by the soothing midnight music of the shore
Ignites their hearts, setting fire in their very core

Witnessing the moon’s silver beauty from afar
Circled and bathed by all the glistening stars
Beside him, the girl lay fast asleep
Caressing her young wings and its tip

Laying back brought a sudden ache from his own
A wound from his young right wing that reaches the bone
“I wish I was careful, wish I was aware.”
Glancing back despite the pain “Thanks for the care.”

The night went on with the shore’s musical essence
A midnight breeze, her eyes did open
Seeing the boy cozy and asleep beside her
Asleep with that mystifying smile, yesterday as he were

Wrapping him by her young and beautiful wings
Protecting that wound that came from a powerful fling
“Even though we’re like this, you still care.”
“Thank you for always being there.”

With that she closed her hopeful and teary eyes
Waiting for the moon’s goodbye
Drifting off to a dream where they were able to kiss the sky
A dream where they were able to fly.
