My Love Is Like A Hummingbird

My minute tropical bird that vibrates

Its wings as rapidly as thought

Echoing a humming sound through the air

Unlike butterflies, it hovers

Destined to keep us like lovers

Over the silver surface of waters

It hangs in midair searching for

Your heart like nectar hidden in a tree

Under crystal, liquid ground

Subterranean creatures hear hums

It speeds to a hibiscus tree in sight

Tears bring down floods of silt when it

Does not find your sweet love in the flowers

My hungry love is soiled with mud

With no love and the empty bed
