Two Million Wings

By Bonae L’amour

I willingly allow one year cut short from my longevity

For every extra minute my eyes are allowed to thrive

In the presence of the curve of your rosy smiling lips

Not minding if you are unaware of my loyal devotion

I will give up the strength of my well-being

Just to be able to again wake up to your joy

Like ten thousands shooting rays from the sun

On an unchallenged summer day of free youth

I welcome insomnia and lateness from the sand fairy

To prolong my time of hearing your voice in the night

A sound so comforting and nourishing to my weak soul

Like the flight of a million just released butter-cocoons

Two million wings flapping accordingly into heaven

Beautifully written. I'm speechless.
