we met like two birds landing on a wire
and chattered with our chirping sounds that sing
at distance where no flights could we conspire
though thoughts of love nests set our ******* on fire
like humans holding tight to form a ring
we met like two birds landing on a wire
that laid upon the face of earth's attire
so far that only light-boxes could bring
at distance where no flights could we conspire
yet caught by love like wings snagged in a brier
two lovebirds sought to ease loneliness's sting
we met like two birds landing on a wire
and dreamed since then of hatchlings we could sire
with eggshells cracking at the scent of Spring
at distance where no flights could we conspire
above the clouds now dreams have floated higher
and soaring past the heavens there do sing
we met like two birds landing on a wire
at distance where no flights could we conspire
