Hummingbird, Hummingbird

by Alexander Valcarcel

Hummingbird, hummingbird, give me a song

Open your heart and I’ll listen along

To the melody played in my ears when you speak

Of the thoughts that arise from your head through the week

Hummingbird, hummingbird, show me a dance

You jump to a beat and I’m pulled in a trance

Like a moth to the flame, you have drawn me again

To explore how to capture such beauty in pen

Hummingbird, hummingbird, stare at my eyes

The warmth in your own is my number one prize

I am blinded and deafened and frozen in place

Only thawed by desires to keep with your pace

You’re as sweet as the nectar you drink from each flower

And agony sprouts as I miss you each hour
