(originally written June 19th 2011) <br />Male penguins scour the Earth for one little pebble, <br />A perfect one, for someone special. <br />Giving the pebble as a sign of love, <br />Something useless to us, for them is enough. <br />With the little rock, it's up to fate, <br />If she accepts they're forever mates. <br />For the rest of their lives they're together, <br />A love that as time goes, grows better. <br />It's simple, strange, yet it's enough, <br />Isn't it beautiful, penguin love? <br /> <br />You are my penguin, no need of a pebble, <br />Because this, me, you, is special. <br />All I need is your reassuring word, <br />Asking for anything else would be absurd. <br />Why can't we be together eternally, <br />What if we were meant for eternity? <br />You said I'm your penguin if I wished to be called so, <br />But then said that to you I'd be your Cielo. <br />With that, the use of that meaningful word, <br />I don't need to be a pretty and flightless bird, <br />If I can be your heaven.<br /><br />Keli Mims<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/penguin-love/
