Colour Blind

I don't see the colour of your skin.

I see
the colour of your heart.

Is it dark and putrid or
is it the color of a soft and lilting tune?
Is it filled with warm tones,
or cold?
Hues of ice and snow,
or gold?

Do you give or take?
Do you love or hate?

I don't see race or faith,
I just see you-
your energy, your words, your actions.

I see you; I just simply
see you.

Perched up here
in my nest
Preening the feathers
on my chest
Constantly watching
The distant field
For any kind of meal
It might yield
Looking for movement
Some kind of sign
If you make a mistake
I'll make you mine
Seeing life
I spring into action
Eating you
Brings such satisfaction
Diving down
With incredible speed
A tasty dinner
Is what I need
You try to run
And try to hide
Once I spot you
I won't be denied
Almost made it
To your hole
I am coming
To get your soul
Talons digging
Into your back
Up to my nest
For an afternoon snack

When the time has come
The earth I shall leave
Promise me
That you will never grieve
Don't waste your time
Being sad
Remember all the times
That we had
Times of laughter
And of joy
I' ll always be
Your baby boy
Our life together
Had more love than most
Lets raise our glass
For one last toast
To the girl
Who made my life
You have been
An incredible wife
Dry that tear
Don't you cry
I'll be watching
From the sky
Always making sure
That you're okay
Till we're together
Again one day
