Covered me with jewelry Took me to exotic cafés I was surrounded in luxury With all those rich buffets. You thought I was happy Satisfied, with bliss- content Afterall, wasn't my life confetti? Glittering with money overspent. But you didn't realize My heart aching for more. You didn't hear my cries You were too busy showing off. Please hurry, we'll be strangers soon So sit with me, talk to me, please do; Trust me, I don't need the moon For all I ever want is you.
The Sparrow
I saw him in the morning;I was doing my crosswords then.Folded the newspaper, and I set out to watch. He had made his palace inside the turtle ivy kingdom .Almost finished becoming a home;Waiting for the last straw and peck.
