Upon wings of time ~ my mind sings a song
A song as endless as time itself
It rings in the rafters ~ it echoes in the deepest pits
Once the music starts ~ you just can’t help but sing along

It can warm the heart of the coldest woman
Or melt the heart of the hardest man
It can wrap you up ~ or totally shut you down
It can rub you raw ~ like a grain of sand

The feelings you get when you hear this song
Can make you float in the clouds
Or it can drag you thru the gutter
It just drags you along

Once you hear this song
You are never the same
You may never be sane
And you never quite get over it

It can make you shed tears ~ till your eyes are slits
It can make you smile
Even when no ones around for miles
But no matter what you always want to sing

So when the bird of love
You do one of two things
Enjoy the ride and handle it with kid gloves
Or shoot it and have dinner

The choice is yours to make
But if you decide you are hungry
Don’t go jumping in the lake
When you find you’ve made a mistake

Cause swimming just ain’t allowed

Icyheart...I know that roller coaster ride. Been on it a few times.  Loved the thoughts and the emotions within the words. Very thought provoking love poem.

I'd go for the dinner, it might leave you more satisfied

Enjoy the ride and handle it with kid gloves
Or shoot it and have dinner" great imagination you have. great poem. floria
