Sweet Bird of My Paradise

Are you the sweet bird of my paradise?
Your sunny hues on fluffed wings
Promise warm love in dark hours
You wobble with your soft cuddly breasts 
On the leafy branches bending low 
Round innocent dots with searching looks
Gaze into my eyes through the glass pane
Tapping on it with your little conical beak
Like butter you slip into my open heart
As a cherub's smile into his mother's
