tonight we fly

thou is a tremble

a whisper hushed under the skin

thou moves its wings

and flies above my heart

it is that movement

between the ribs

that speaks of tiny flutters

measured in the depths

of the butterfly’s painted eyes

Butterfly Love

Butterfly Love

The butterfly and the heart,

both free spirits,

doing as they choose.

My heart chooses you.

After all,

throw in love,

add a little beauty,

and we have perfection.

Us.

consummate

as a hinge

in a heart beat

meant to suggest

in all delicateness

these butterfly wings

like a young page

like autumnal leaves

open and close wor[l]ds

and come together

always ... momentarily

Hello again

in the garden, it's a sunny day

waiting quietly, listening to the birds

for I know you'll happen this way

while they gossip loudly in the trees

my heart awaits your nudge..you're here

silently a butterfly..sends your breeze

hello..thank you

Pump your Breaks

One flys towards another. At break neck speeds. Hearts hard pumping. At this work with some greed. The source of this need? Butterfly byes are always long in between. Hello agains. Joyful cry’s.

bloody valentine

It fluttered crimson wings

Throwing speckles in the wind

Like a butterfly on my hand

No idea how it has sinned

I crush it gently in my fingers

Sanguine stickiness, it lingers

Of a lying heart squeezed dry

Butterfly love

A butterfly’s life, they say

barely as long as a day;

Untrue, I found for it can last

until almost a year has passed.

What of the love that flutters, like butterfly wings in my heart?

It will never part.

Romantic Butterfly Antithesis

Amidst a butterfly garden I float and flutter,

Seeing others float for another,

My days,

Gone,

My time,

Done,

Wonder what happened to the fun,

I breathe my last breath,

Stopping flutters altogether,

My heart for you finishes its run.

let it go

shatter of

broken glass

the butterfly

crawls out

spreads

vibrant wings

across

my palm

painting my skin

in rainbows

a kiss

of something warm

then flies

leaving

droplets

of stardust

that catch

in my breath

and weave

into my heart
