Topic: Poems for Zaz
Nightbird
you're a little star
cutting through a dead black night
pouring out your light and life
in every corner of my heart
you're a whisper
so softly in the stones themselves
hinting at the buried dream
just aching for a touch from you
you're a raindrop
falling on the parched ground
thirsting there for tenderness
cooling on my dry cracked lips
you are beauty
shining like a prison break
filling up the cold barred room
with something to believe at last
you're the woman for my man
I don't need to understand
the world
you're a melody
playing in a schoolyard
dancing children everywhere
can't help but sing along
you're a nightbird
wisping through the streetlights
up above my midnight dreams
teasing me to fly away
you're a teardrop
running down my sad cheek
welling from inside of me
dying to pour out on me
you're a warm fire
lying there beside me
drawing me to hold you close
against my winter night
you're the beating of my heart
I know we can never part
we are
you're the last word
in everything I ever wrote
the poem of a dream come true
singing always in my head for you
you're the first breath
drawn in every shining world
filling up the sighs of hope
with passion for a dream of peace
you're the love that must go on
and the dream that's never gone
for me
you're a nightbird
soaring
