sparrow feathers

sparrow eyes tender comfort
my love's eyes are sparrow's eyes
lover's eyes honey eyes
honey eyes chocolate eyes
heavenly eyes

love's lonely longing romance eyes
loving eyes warm kiss-me eyes
lady's sighs
caring eyes mother's eyes

~

shoulder to shoulder side by side
man and lady husband and wife
black white every shade brown
rich earth of africa's colours
modest meek and humble dignity
in sunday's best

beige cocoa ivory cream ebony
faint rust reddish teak burgundy
amber tan chestnut walnut
warm glowing auburn

~

back yard quick peck-peck hop-hop
chatting chitter-chatter chirr
ciss-ciss tjirp tjirp tjsip tjieep
happy splattering sunny birdbath
garden pair busily flatter-flitter

~

fluffed huffed ruffled puffed 
in icy cold shyly birds in love
cuddling together snuggling 

common comfy cosy shelter
feathers and grass cluttered
untidy down lined fleecy home
warm dreamy love
sparrows' nests are mouse nests

~

african eyes gentle and tender hearted
courting eyes are sparrows' flutter
leaves at peace fall float drift easily
africa your love is soft as feathers
