I’ve done 3 short stories 3 days in a row. So I felt like I deserved a small break today. Which means it’s another day for a poem from the past. This is a love poem I wrote during my community college days after a big heartbreak, circa 2007 or 2008. Enjoy.

On a lonely night barking at the moon

Never would I have guessed to find happiness so soon

I found a small blue bird in need of some care

Her wing was broken and needed repair

My first instinct was to make this a snack

A small meal not fit for the pack

I drew closer and saw this small creature

A friend of the sky with its small features

Helpless on the ground awaiting a swift sleep

A snap of the jaws and she was mine to keep

But I could not bring myself to kill

While she waited there perfectly still

She asked me for help in her time of need

And I had to control this instinct for greed

I held her so gently, keeping her close

Maybe this love was what I needed the most

Soft chirping calming my senses

Against this creature so defenseless

Her wing was saved and so was her life

Together we brought an end to all of our strife

I needed her and she needed me

A star-crossed friendship was the key

She would sing me a song and I’d howl all my own

Together we made a mix-matched home

Then the day came when we said our goodbyes

The sadness welled up in both of our eyes

I remember my small blue bird and her beautiful song

And her beautiful wings, I hadn’t seen for so long

We parted our paths, but someday you’ll see

We’ll be back together, my blue bird and me.

…

But even if I never see her again

I will always remember my beautiful friend.
