Everytime They Chirp

They usually go unknown to me,
in my meloncholy day...
but everytime the chirping of the birds
finds it's way to my ears,
I know that my heart is already going.
Everytime I hear them,
my world comes to an end.
The entire existance I've been living in implodes
with a silent eruption.
I'm left standing there...naked, new soul...amnesia.
I know not of anything but these new things about,
and how much I love theri every sound and sight.
My once lonesome and bitter nights are forgotten
and replaced with fullfilment and gratitude
even when she, the Goddess of my new life, is away.
My quiet days of lost hope and faith in love
now roar and toss confetty upon their dark past
in glorification of their new selves.
The only constant, the only knowledge
I toat along with me when I morph
into this seeing, hearing, floating piniata of love
is that one day I may wake up and find myself
deaf to the chirping
and in an all too familiar place
flashbacks told me no longer exists.
Chirp Chirp.

Beautiful as the day I read it. So much talent...

Wow...
This is a very descriptive tale woven into an intricacy that all strive to reach but never quite acheive. Way to go, man.

Wow, free verse.  This is now for you.  Good job at it though.  You were talking about this last night so I'm glad to see it today.  Just be careful man, sometimes the birds will drive you into a fit of insane rage for little or no reason.  Whoa, bad flashback there, but you know what I mean.  Don't worry, I'll always love you man.
