Love Poem: Today

Today

small gasps of air
    escape hearts of a feather

someone lifted the ground higher
someone lowered the sky closer
because somehow the clouds seem so close
like a minute away
like I just want to raise my hand up
and snatch that cotton candy
and to my mouth to melt
and to my skin to caress 

someone brought out the moon so early
in its full splendour it's there to admire
give me a hug dear moon
let me reciprocate dear moon 

from the skin so smooth
to a polygamy talk so tempting
in  this modern day and age
I guess you will have your man cave in the middle
of two or four huts, whatever number you choose to have
international lullaby you have mastered
from the Kenyan jewel
to the Indonesian gem
back to the America's gorgeous 
and who knows, Latinos so close

small gasps of air
   escapes hearts of a feather

it's so clear to see, 
the today
to love without boundaries 
the love of a broken heart
tries the winds from a many directions
