the nightingale

fly my little nightingale
and take this song i give you
to the land of genies and magic carpets
a piece of my heart i send too

hide yourself very well
and you will not be seen
but before the dawn becomes the day
proclaim my love with screems

fly my little nightingale
into her ear, into her heart
tell her i am always near
and will never ever depart

hide yourself within her dreams
and own from dusk till dawn
but when she leaves begin your screems
your mourning while she's gone

    Nice how you weave a bird, a song and love into one lovely verse. Last verse is so dear.

    sweet poem, reminds me of the hans christian andersen story 'the nightingale', a nice lyrical quality to this...
