When The Butterflies Are Gone
The darkness gives way to butterflies and repulsion breaths life into statues of dead dogs...
These horrors must be kept.
Though stitched eyes would bring no release to these lost soldiers
A forest far away burns down and you scream my name
Crying all the while, the mother's child dies
Will I ever be free?
A shadow looms through the window and you reach to the outstretched hand
Will you take his word over the eyes in a painted room?
Faceless words mutter silently in a meaningless language
These premonitions so clear...
Could I simply be slipping out of view once again?
Lost in a dream about a dream
Eyes flutter open
The beating of wings of glass winds
A knife's edge will cut through the night and leave me in silence
Quiet and alone, you will die!
A wealth of burden all his own to eat
Darkness gives way to the dawn and the butterflies take flight though the deliverance of daylight

it's mispelled. I really like all the descriptive words, reading it gave me great images coming into view as I read it through. Although I had to read it a few times to get a over all feel of what you were talking about, it jumped around alittle too much for my reading. All in all I enjoyed it, very nice.

Ooops! ...Thank you.
mmmm I think I could use a little more work on this piece giving voice to it but I showed it to a couple people suggested that I post it so I did... Kind of rushed though I think perhaps. I appreciate your comment though, thank you very much!
