I haven’t posted in here for a little while, but I decided to break my silence today. I’m in love, and I’m Passion, after all, so I decided to release one of my personal poems to my Beloved on my blog. For all of you reading this, go kiss your significant other… or go find one. 😉
PS – Kudos to my poetic brother Corey Springer on his new book “LIKE A SUNSET OVER DE GULLY” and if you are in Barbados check out his book launch this coming Sunday, September 22nd. Here’s the FB Event page. I reference him also because his writing style influenced this piece. 🙂 Enjoy
LOVEBIRDS
Love birds
Sing sweetly
The harmony
Of unity
Thrilling the
Auditory
Canals of the
Awaiting
Audience.
Wrapped in
Rapt attention
Not wanting to
Miss a note
As these love
Birds’ lives
Are heard
Love binds
Us two
To-
Gether
To get her
To be connected
To another
Took courage
As her heart
Took off
And flew
Across the sea
Landed here
In Bim *
With me
Lovebirds’
Birth
Berthed
Within twin hearts
Started with
Quick spark
Sudden
Lit a flame
Inflamed passions
Fashioned an
Eternal bond
Forged in the fire
Inspired to invest
Time
Money
Energy
Building a home
A place for lovebirds
To roost
Permanently
And we
Build our nest
One small twig
At a time.
* – “Bim” is one of the nicknames for my country, Barbados

This reinforces my desire that the next one I feel deep passion for, well… for that I am saving myself. But Lawd Jesus, Corey what a feast with ten saints and what glorious cake! The expression on that parrots face is priceless! well, thru passionate human eyes anyway.
