Happily Ever After

love poem

Happily Ever After by Tiffany Congdon

A bird with clipped wings

stole a piece of my heart.

It flew high above with

its precious treasure

safe within its breast

singing a gay little song.

It perched on your shoulder

and I watched, afraid to breathe.

You very gently removed the piece of my heart

from its breast, your eyes soft

and your smile gentle.

Then you took a bow and aarow as I

stepped into view, my dress ripped in places

from getting caught on the thorny bushes

surrounding your kingdom.

You took careful aim....

I held my breath as the arrow hit my body...

And we lived happily ever after...
