The Parrot's Song

Looking at you
as through eyes of a parrot
makes men's hearts hover
Your paint your face
as if to war
bring lust to the strongest man
Many things about you
could be written in poems
Each a musical beat of its own
like so many men
that have volleyed thoughts of you
and giving to you their birdish grin
as you've sent many to flight.
