Beaky Lips

I shouldn't have carried you                                            so close.
I should have thought twice
about kissing your beaky lips
and never made a promise
to love you forever.
But I was a tempted,
weakened by your unusual shape
and feathered presence.
I fell under your spell,
flying without wings
in the sky of eternal illusion.
Now I'm at the altar
of no return
in the foulest of moments.
