She...A Poem by Phillips
You lay within the world of slumber
But insomnia is a plague Tonight it claims its victim One. Two. Three. Reverse. Repeat. A gleam of silver widens across the black. Satisfied with its color change the newly sharpened blade dances across butterflies wings. Black to silver. Silver to crimson. It is now I begin to wonder Can you hear the butterflies cry Can you hear the rain fall upon This being I call me In nightmares and dreamscapes You are stricken deaf What if you wake and I'm gone The window stares into my very soul Father winter invites himself in I take his hand And jump Solid ground meets the soles of my chucks With nectar on my breath I fly away For, I am nothing more Than a crippled butterfly Will you fly away with me tonight Tender moments pass between us And we take flight The look inside out becomes a blur Moonlight spills over your skin The stars glisten in your eyes A butterfly's wing lovingly brushes your cheek With the starfire behind her Darkness conceals her expression And she wonders if you can hear the tears fall They sound like glass breaking upon her ears A smile So rare A bluemoon It breaks her face of stone The air of happiness In this moment Dries the beads of dew Heavy with her disguise Three chimes Each a deafening blow Wheels turn over the miles Over the hills Further and further away The distance The goodbye Toxins in the air Of Joy Of Peace Down the road Shes left alone She is struck by The bitterness of loneliness Only moments after farewell Only temporary But still Shes beaten inside Darkness becomes her Again she dances With the silver With the black The red © 2012 PhillipsAuthor's Note
