A bird sings in my heart tonight
It is full of desire
The silence inside is gone
As my heart beats on
And the bird whistles a tune
Which reminds me of you
In her plaintive song
I find warmth
It's something I can sing and hum
While I stroll on a wide street in some distant town
I am at ease
Knowing the bird will keep me company
While the bird has grown tired
I want it to sing tonight
So that I can share with you
Something that's honest and true
It is full of desire
The silence inside is gone
As my heart beats on
And the bird whistles a tune
Which reminds me of you
In her plaintive song
I find warmth
It's something I can sing and hum
While I stroll on a wide street in some distant town
I am at ease
Knowing the bird will keep me company
While the bird has grown tired
I want it to sing tonight
So that I can share with you
Something that's honest and true

I've been working on my poetry for a while now and wasn't sure if I should publish anything. But this metaphor struck me like lightning. It is inspired by Bluebird, a poem penned by Charles Bukowski.
