The Bird Lady

His thoughts do wander high as his heart cries  
Catching the wings of a sparrow above
One escaping to warmer southern skies
Intoxicated with the weight of love
The hand awaits for the bird to alight
Thoughts hanker back to a meadow so sweet
This tiny bird in need of rest from flight
He found those two hands to settle and greet
With eyes blind to the world, they dare to breach 
To feast sip and sup until they both end
Etiquette can't stop their two hearts which reach
That sanctuary, love, where hearts do blend

That place we hold in secret, you and me.
To hold each forever so tenderly.

Hey Mandy, this is awesome, the poetry classical belongs to another age, yet so personal to the reader, A sonnet of love, that haunts the mind.

Love is in many hearts animal and human. You have made that poetically possible!

I agree with Silent One . This is so romantic and so tender, Mandy. Have not seen you in ages, but I saw Harry had done a recent sonnet with you and wanted to come tell you that I enjoyed it.
