Butterfly Kiss

i wrote this when i was 13 based off a dream i had.

In a land far away
There lays a meadow, full of flowers and sweet grasses
On this day you will find
A lone Butterfly
Wings as white as snow
With a drop of yellow on each to rival the sun
But if he could tell you
He would say, It hasn't always been this way
Once he had Two arms
And walked feet on the ground
With no wings to take flight with
And had a girl who loved him
But it was all taken away
At the stream where the poison water flows

In a land far away
There lays a stream
Cutting through the place where one world meets the next
There a girl has sat each day and wept
For the one who was taken there from her
She saw him once
on that faithful day
A brush of his wing, a butterfly kiss
And he sent her away
Each day the stream runs purer
Her tears of sadness washing the poison away
But shes still on the other side
And a world away

The stream now runs
With sad salty tears
One day she can take it no longer
And she slides into that stream
That runs with enough sadness to break a heart

In a land far away
There lays a meadow
Full of flowers and sweet grasses
On this day you will find, two butterfly's
A brush of their wings
A butterfly kiss
And they vanish together
Into the mist

i was digging through old notebooks last night and stumbled upon this, it was the second poem i ever wrote, and i think by far the strangest, but i thought i'd share it haha.

A wonderful poem! I just noticed that in the fifth-last line, you might want to use "butterflies" instead of "butterfly's". Overall, it was a very enjoyable read. Thanks for sharing!

This is awesome! I love every single line! I love the adventure that it captures, and even the emotion! It is beautiful and I cant believe this is only the second poem you ever wrote and at such a young age! You have so much talent. Thank you for sharing this because I enjoyed reading this poem more than many others! It reminds me of a lot of Alice in Wonderland.
