If you were a bird, I would let you perch
Upon my shoulder, close to my ear;
Your feathery wings would caress my face
As your sweet song blessed the atmosphere
If you were a frog, I'd not seek a prince,
I'd love cradling you in my pocket!
Or, I might wrap you in lace, and then
Wear you close to my heart like a locket
If you were a bee buzzing 'round my head
I would let you nestle in my hair;
Deep in the night your honeyed kisses
Would transcend Heaven's ambrosial air
But it matters not your earthly facade,
You're the one who rules from my heart's throne;
Your seeds of love took root in my heart -
And so, you shall reap the love you've sown
Lovely, beautiful proof of love. Said in such an original and charming way. A delightful poem for today that will still be read with great pleasure in times to come. A work of undisputable poetic, sentimental and lyric worth that easily touches the heart.

, don't let my wife read this! ! Don't 'they' sometimes PIN lockets to blouses? OUCHY! ! ! roots in your heart? ! can you spell H E A R T B U R N! ! ? A bird perching on your shoulder could leave somethin' with an odor, and (if an ostrich) could leave a boulder of bird! And not cleaned up, it soon might molder! bri :) favorite stanza is 3rd. to MyPoemList
