Birds from your Heart
by *MichaelOrtega

What secret leaves your heart?
The wings of passion fleeting pass...
Is it craft or is it art,
required to make love last?

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

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

1. Don't quit your day job.

I drank some beer.
I ate some beans.
I farted.
Thus, my life has means.

[Steerpike]

3. My job

does entail creative writing...all poetry does not have to be obscure prose...

[Heidi]

7. I'm always amazed when people make a genuine effort

to be unkind.

[Steerpike]

9. well...

I shouldn't be so thin skinned...appreciation is certainly in the eyes of the beholder! thanks for your kind words, you certainly are a very talented and goodhearted person yourself! ;)
