Sparrows enjoy a certain reputation
For intimacy and hope
Crosby Stills and Nash sang of them
In Suite: Judy Blue Eyes
As compatriots to the morning
Air
With guitar strums and high notes
Truth be told
Sparrows are bulkier than the normal song bird
And not particularly
Pretty
Brown and gray as a mound of dirt
Chirpy jerky punk band
And they have no problem with crowding out
From a bush or bird feeder
Finches and chick-a-dees
They’re kind of a bully
Push around those that are smaller
Who carry pouches of yellow and pink
And tiny symphonies
They clog up my eavestroughs with nests
Right now
I watch one sparrow land on top of another
And the tree branch bends down
Under their heft
Bounces up and down
To their sex
Again
The limb
Seemingly
Waving them off
Or so it tries
As if it’s saying
Get off me you animals.

From the moment I first saw you
Something in me changed
And then when I first heard you sing
My heart was rearranged
I'd heard the voice of beauty
If such could be described
Unprepared and unexpected
My senses came alive
Though I tried hard to ignore them
They always had this knack
The more that I resisted
The stronger they came back
Quite frankly though, I liked it
Excitement reigned anew
And ever since that moment
My sky's always been blue

her eyes
.
her eyes stole me away
the look
distant
engaging
darting
but always blue
.
sometimes
i wondered what they had seen
how such beauty could
see pain
suffering
shed tears
.
i looked
she looked
we saw the future
two glances dancing
a collision course across a table for two
while our eyes
made us one

Is she trying to be sensuous
Or is twirling her hair merely a habit?
Larry stared at the woman in the next booth
Her alabaster complexion would give movie stars jealousy
The twirling continued; and he smiled
She looked like one of his younger sisters
Another beauty who did not know it
Her sky blue eyes looked up and met his, and they both smiled

Mother and daughter, side by side,
Soft paws patter, eyes open wide.
Sometimes they play, sometimes they hide,
But always stay close, full of pride.
They chase and tumble, leap and run,
Basking in the morning sun.
Sometimes they fight, sometimes they roar,
But love still grows forevermore.
Their eyes shine bright, like skies so blue,
So full of love, so pure and true.
Their fur so soft, like clouds so light,
A gentle touch, a warm delight.
Each purr so calm, so sweet and deep,
A song that lulls my heart to sleep.
They stretch, they yawn, then curl up tight,
Safe and warm throughout the night.
In quiet moments, side by side,
With love so deep, so strong, so wide.
Through every season, rain or shine,
Their hearts stay close, their paws match mine.
They wander, play, and rule the space,
Yet always find a soft embrace.
No matter where they choose to roam,
With me, they always have a home.
Curled together, safe and sound,
A love like theirs is rarely found.
Through every day, through every night,
They stay together—warm and bright.

Let the erotic flower bloom in the stormy waves of pink heart
Let the purified verse of the conjugal life come to the breaths
Let the autumnal drizzling flutters to the window of romance

Two blue eyes and a button nose
Features so striking all with the right pose
Wrapped in a frame so petite and slim
Looks so gorgeous, proper and prim
With a voice so melodious and smile so sweet
She is the one for whom my heart would skip a beat
Remember popping pop corns with Mary Poppins?
And with Sound of Music a treat so therapeutic
Julie Andrews with whom I cruised
Two blue eyes and a button nose
Gave my childhood a big happy dose

My daughter’s robin egg blue eyes stop people on the subway.
They have never seen such gorgeous eyes, not on a Friday.
Maybe not on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday either.
They oftentimes stop and stare said her father, Sleither.

Lee had dreamed of a woman with blue eyes.
It is only a dream! Everyone told him.
I think she is my soul mate, he said.
I am holding out for her.
He held out and held out and held out.
The only sibling in his family who was not married.
His family was hounding him now.
They wanted him married and happy.
I have not found her! He persisted.
Finally they wore him down.
He dated a girl with brown eyes.
At their wedding dance he saw the girl with the blue eyes.

Think I heard it for the first time today.
That laugh.
Like hot chocolate on a winter day.
It felt like something that melts your heart.
A buoyant feeling,
Which makes a dying heart restart.
Are they aquamarine or ocean eyes?
Spending a second too long,
Fills your body with butterflies.
A bittersweet feeling, a poisonous state,
Like dropping from a high,
It’s a bit too difficult to wait.
Living in my head 24/7 rent free,
Hope you’re not annoyed,
Just wondering, do you ever notice me?

I know a little girl with eyes so blue,
She's very lovely too.
She melts my heart when she looks
at me.
She's got the cutest little way of crinkling
her nose,
Her little cricket smile makes me smile
too.
One of the happiest baby girls I've ever
known,
And that alone makes me know I'm doing this
parenting thing right.
The best part of all, is I get to call her
mine.
