I perched <br />on the tree outside your window <br /> <br />pretending to be <br />a bird <br /> <br />but fooling no one. <br /> <br />At my all too <br />human song <br /> <br />you flung open <br />your casement <br /> <br />like a fairy princess <br /> <br />& invited me into <br />your Holy of Holies. <br /> <br />Tentatively I tiptoed <br />across the all too slight branch <br /> <br />crossing the threshold <br /> <br />as if a gentle giant <br />had let me step across his finger. <br /> <br />I entered <br />your room <br /> <br />entered <br />you <br /> <br />entered <br />into <br /> <br />the magic realm of <br />our love. <br /> <br />A real bird <br />had taken my place <br /> <br />on the giant’s green finger <br /> <br />singing <br />delightful madrigals <br /> <br />whilst we <br />lost <br /> <br />(in each other) <br /> <br />...smiled.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/come-live-with-me-be-my-love-2/
