Bird that hunted
Gathered prey with its beak

Encircling it, I dare not make a sound
Hiding in the shadows, I attempt to be sleek

Observing nature, I met the gentleman on a weltering noon
My interest immediately pique

When he walked in the clearing, breathless I went
In awe of his angelic features, I hoped he did not think me meek

His eyes wild like a forest fire
And his smile had left me numb and weak

He glanced my way with a smirk
I barely held my squeak

For when he did turn towards me
I was hiding and he was to seek

In the end we conversed for days
All our secrets, we did leak

Examining the cardinals
And kissing above rocks on the creek

His company beautiful
We were one; so unique

Frenzy in our touches
And adventuring all things freak

Gazing at stars and binding our souls
Quickly passed the week

Time was soon to say goodbye
Standing upon the mountain peak

Maybe it was love
Or a summer romance, so to speak
