Empty hands
Long to caress and mold with sure fingers
Vessel to hold feelings
Spilling out of awakened heart

Golden Butterflies

Lazily floating

on warm, dry air

soft sun-rays coating

a beautiful pair

of golden butterflies

Pretty face
Sewage beneath,
Habits repeat
Trapping you inside,

butterflies

since our eyes first met,

I’ve had butterflies. thoughts of

love with coloured wings.

Monarch

Reigning monarch

Paints over blue

Clusters of royal gold

and orange brew

mixtures of  life

start over new.

Butterfly

Dare to follow the butterfly
See where its path will lead
Don’t lose sight of its zigzag flight
It will show you what you need.
Dare to soar and flit, alight

Wings and Parts

With the snow, the butterflies came and they left.

Their compound became fractured with the piercing cold,

That left their wings stiff and unbalanced.

The most delicate touch gave way to the loss of senses.

I found a piece of you today,

That was left blanketed underneath the frost covered plants that have already died,

With the changing of the season.

A Heart Of Butterflies

I always remember,

How you closed my eyes

To your sweet surrender.

Oh, how time flies…

 

Moments of silence,

Is when my heart shouts loudest.

For my love dwells in solace.

You have a maiden now I must be modest.

I cannot force…

 

I can’t force your heart to race

like mine does with a stutter

every time I see your face.

I cannot make butterflies flutter

in your tummy when we embrace

or with every word I utter.
