Butterfly

No, I am not in love. Well... I used to be...

 

Found your name

In a butterfly

In its wings

Immortalized

Found myself

Floating carelessly

With your name

Gliding next to me

Found the blue

The blue of sky

Like drops of dew

In your eyes

 

Found eternity in your words

Found a petal ocean world

Found your soul in a flower

Caught my mind round the hour

 

In the summer shine of June

I soared on fragile wings

Sleepless nights, when I would croon

Melancholy—as my heart sinks

 

What I once thought was all there is

As if I brushed the height of sky

Turned out to be a mere prologue—

I haven't begun living my life

 

I used to be so lost

In the traffic of my mind

Now I'm lost in your emotions

I left the senselessness behind

 

You broke me out of my cocoon

Where I used to die, I used to mourn

You threw me to the heart of sky

Now I am… a butterfly

 

You make things so meticulous

Like pain and worries, don't exist

You changed me in a million ways

My olden life will not be missed

 

 

 

I've tried to change it

I've tried to hide

I tried to make believe tonight

You wouldn't call, or make it right

As if the stars vanish to night

Like an angel, from the sky

You fall and dive into my eyes

No matter what, I can't deny

I see your name—

In butterflies

what a divine piece of
writing
poetry at its intricate best
and stunning
beyond measure

woww.
very artistic sounding.
i loved the imagery this all put into my head.
it was all so surreal.

Again! I am left with nothing but a gasp! If I'd had this depth, this gift of articulate imagery, this innate poetic presence at the age of 17, I would not be toiling as today. And this, your second language. You are an incredible talent, dearest.

"Found a petal ocean world"! Wow!

Such a graceful flutter on the wings of discovery, musings on the spontaneous gifts of the world when in love ~ like butterflies. I adore this.

Beautiful. Just beyond. ;-)

Love,

This was a beautiful work of art. Exemplifying how love can cause a person to transcend to another level, where nothing can be founf wrong.
And how when things are bleak, that love brings them back to safety.

Wonderful Poem! Much Enjoyed!
