10 Lines: Butterfly

Ten Lines

Me: Butterfly confused flies ‘round the world

(and back)

Dream: Window, breeze of sea curtain blows you and me

Fear: Dark cold empty place, void of light, void of space,

Beauty: Quick curve, gentle lips, your smile, hands on hips—kiss

Truth: Light always conquers dark

Three words: I trust you.

Begins: But fear shadows hope,

…: Making me dizzy, making me sick, making me forget

They said: Love is constant, love is true,

Butterfly: Yet I fly, wings of blue and purple flirting with the sky.

I: Butterfly

Salty breeze curtains you and me,

Quick curve, gentle lips, your smile, hands on hips—

I need you!

Make me dizzy, make me free, make me forget

That I fly on wings of blue yearning for sky,

They claim: Love was constant, ever true;

Hope swallowed fear;

Light vanquished dark, and

From a cold dark empty point

I escape to fly ‘round the world

(and back into your arms).
