I Just Want Us To Count The Birds Poem by Mark Heathcote

I just want us to count the birds
Forget the skies are full of stars
I just want to lie transfixed
In your arms at dusk till dawn & sunrise
And hear you my lover's words

I just want us to count the birds
I just want you close by my side.
Looking deep into my opalescent eyes
I just want to feel your touch
Ooh, oh, oh so much.

I just want us to count the birds
I just want to cry deeply like the Tinman
Overwhelmed by his new heart
I just want us to count the years
And never look back in tears.

I just want us to count the birds
With you beneath a rainbow
Separating, rolling grey clouds.
I just want to hover like hummingbirds
Sipping nectar oh heavenly with you.
