Flying high on powdered wings
Sing me songs of broken things
Broken bones and broken hearts
I pray we never fall apart
A trap, a cage, a prison cell
Drag me through the gates of hell
But nothing could hold me back for long
I fell in love with your broken songs
Sing me songs of broken things
Broken bones and broken hearts
I pray we never fall apart
A trap, a cage, a prison cell
Drag me through the gates of hell
But nothing could hold me back for long
I fell in love with your broken songs

Mothballs
Cocooned between the rainbow twilight
And the rising moon
The metamorphosis failed
No butterflies emerged
A moth instead
Beautiful in its way
Lover of the dark
Slave to the flame
Death mask upon its wings
The horror
The corporate mothballs
Dropped in the night
They prayed to Uranus
To Gaia
To Cronus
To Zeus
And the rising moon
The metamorphosis failed
No butterflies emerged
A moth instead
Beautiful in its way
Lover of the dark
Slave to the flame
Death mask upon its wings
The horror
The corporate mothballs
Dropped in the night
They prayed to Uranus
To Gaia
To Cronus
To Zeus

Nature Moving
One only waxes poetic,
Recounting nature's perfect kinetics.
Uses only immaculate phrasing,
To emphasise how amazing,
The stems, heavy hips.
The dropping of honey drips,
From the honeycomb,
That it's swaying whips.
The bee, hovers over, with power.
But gentle, goes into her flower.
The plosion of pollen.
What remains, the wind devours.
The cyrsos that conceals
A mirage that is real.
In flutters, her wings are spread,
A sensuous reveal

Mind Obesity
In the labyrinth of his mind he wandered.
A man with thoughts as heavy as lead.
His brain, swollen with ideas and musings
became an obese repository of dreams.
Each thought a bloated morsel.
Lodged in the crevices of his consciousness.
He carried them like stones in his pockets.
Their weight pulling him deeper into solitude.
But one day, a butterfly fluttered by.
Its delicate wings a whisper of grace.
It danced upon his mental clutter.
A reminder of weightlessness and flight.
The man watched entranced. ...
A man with thoughts as heavy as lead.
His brain, swollen with ideas and musings
became an obese repository of dreams.

Lodged in the crevices of his consciousness.

But one day, a butterfly fluttered by.
Its delicate wings a whisper of grace.
It danced upon his mental clutter.
A reminder of weightlessness and flight.
The man watched entranced. ...

Not sailing on the ocean
Not feeling pretty safe at all
Elaborate
Labor hate
Abort later
What's up?
Butterflies
Butter flies
Flies will fly
Around you.
Cocoa puff
Swimming
Into vodka
What's up?
Cow milk
Top hats
No taps
What's up?
No half full
Any glasses
No empty
Small cups
What's up?
Not ever
Full jugs
Bottoms up...

True Love: She keeps bleeding love and I care
She will not stop to stop bleeding love
Just a blink of an eye to truly fall for her
Tight knot of love our fountain of wealth
My soul is blown I knew love is in the air
Gut is real and fear decided to be not fair
Blood rushes and the man in me has left
Should I rush for such a deal or stop there
Soul's tight links simply good for my health
Time flies when we deal with our love pact
Found love before the creepy jealous death
In her dimples lies the marks from her birth
She dug her soul to secure love at...

Butterfly
You come and you go
Like waves on the sand
It's like that magical moment
when a butterfly lands
You'll kill it if you try to hold it in your hands
Like a flame without oxygen
Trapped you can't breathe
So I'm never mad when you have to leave
If you like a flower you pluck it
If you love a flower you let it grow
I can't even begin to describe how deeply my love for you flows
So be free my love
Spread your wings
You need your freedom like all beautiful things
I'll be here patiently...
Like waves on the sand
It's like that magical moment
when a butterfly lands
You'll kill it if you try to hold it in your hands
Like a flame without oxygen
Trapped you can't breathe
So I'm never mad when you have to leave
If you like a flower you pluck it
If you love a flower you let it grow
I can't even begin to describe how deeply my love for you flows
So be free my love
Spread your wings
You need your freedom like all beautiful things
I'll be here patiently...

blow me away
you are such a crazy butterfly
flying around and around all the flowers...
nectar on your lips.
nectar in your pores.
nectar in everything in you.
open wings,
windows side by side,
light curtains.
nectar on the windows,
in your wings,
uncovered.
you are a butterfly and I...
I'm flying around you...
flowers that wait, crazy!
flying around and around all the flowers...
nectar on your lips.
nectar in your pores.
nectar in everything in you.
open wings,
windows side by side,
light curtains.
nectar on the windows,
in your wings,
uncovered.
you are a butterfly and I...
I'm flying around you...
flowers that wait, crazy!
