Birds From Your Heart

by Steerpike

What secret left your heart?
The wings of fleeting passions pass...
is the perception of my feeling art,
then required to make love last?

Fatigue passes, leaves light rainbow faded
your hair lays softly over your dark and sad eyes...
blinds your soul and leaves you jaded
unbinding long bound ties

If ever you look up to the sky
and talk to birds as they fly
forget all the tears and the lies
and keep in mind, love only works when you try...
