A feather Ocean full of eyes
Magical blue when these rise
Ogling at me with so much pride
Cheering high with sheer delight
In awe of my rainbow sheen
Crown like a Queen not often seen
Iridescent colours flair and dance
Golden plumes with a poised glance.
A national bird with a star
Preening myself in the barnyard
My liquid eyes whirling to life
How I wish they knew, as I sighed.
Helpless! I do surrender to that spell
Just like the bunch around …tells
Whispering slowly, I ask them to pause
Do not adore me just because.
These bare words & mindless thoughts
Just do not help me connect any dots
Don’t just tack on handsome to me
Being flawless can get tricky to be
Can I just feel unadorned for once?
Simple and happy like my loved ones
A bird with beauty of its own within
Never mind the titles that I win
Sometimes I just like to be
Feel the sky and smell the sea
May be Glorious , symbolic of integrity
But all I want is JUST TO BE ME!!!!!
