Vulnerable
the current world
is a tough place
too much hate
i am vulnerable
and break easily
so many people
are insensitive to
needs of others
and some of us
are an easy prey
to the predators
who shatter us
when someone
harasses attacks
or critiques me i
break like glass
sometimes i wish
there was a sticker
on my face that says
fragile handle with care
is a tough place
too much hate
i am vulnerable
and break easily
so many people
are insensitive to
needs of others
and some of us
are an easy prey
to the predators
who shatter us
when someone
harasses attacks
or critiques me i
break like glass
sometimes i wish
there was a sticker
on my face that says
fragile handle with care

Daffodils
we could count
daisies, daffodils
and dandelions
You and me
track the flight
of the ladybugs
bumble bees
& butterflies
dance in the
dunes in june
lie on the grass
and talk for hours
& as we go to sleep
we can count the stars
daisies, daffodils
and dandelions
You and me
track the flight
of the ladybugs
bumble bees
& butterflies
dance in the
dunes in june
lie on the grass
and talk for hours
& as we go to sleep
we can count the stars

capturing butterflies
it does not
seem fair
to follow you,
watch my
chance when
you land,
to drink,
intoxicate
yourself
on sweet
nectar,
to pin
your wings
back with
finger
and thumb,
to impede
your freedom.

A Windswept Butterfly
I'm like a butterfly
Often blown askew
In a fluttering wind
As i flap amongst the morning dew
Caught on the breezes
Swaying to, and fo
I have nowhere to hide
And nowhere to go
My flourescent blue wings
Collide with a bower
I thus fall to the ground
Upon a fine flower
I sup upon its nectar
So divinely sweet
Restoring my strength
For every wing beat
But my wings begin to fray
Tattered, and torn, in complete disarray
And i know one day soon
That i'll sinply be blown away
As i weaken further ...
Often blown askew
In a fluttering wind
As i flap amongst the morning dew
Caught on the breezes
Swaying to, and fo
I have nowhere to hide
And nowhere to go
My flourescent blue wings

I thus fall to the ground
Upon a fine flower
I sup upon its nectar
So divinely sweet
Restoring my strength
For every wing beat
But my wings begin to fray
Tattered, and torn, in complete disarray
And i know one day soon
That i'll sinply be blown away

Butterfly Dance
She walked into the nightclub
in a tantalizing tight black dress
accentuating every curve
strangely beautiful, I must confess.
Wearing orange Bakelite jewelry
she bought for just fifty cents
silver rings on every finger
her confidence sure to impress.
She stepped out on the dance floor
swaying those curving hips
showing off her Monarch wings
a mischievous smile upon dark red lips.
No one knew what to make of it
they’d never seen a creature like her before
with wings spread out and fluttering
as she...

Blooming Butterfly
From the cocoon she grows
Into something big, lovely,
Bold and majestic. She shows
Us that life is about recovery
And surviving through any
Storm. How I want to be like
Her, flying and even with many
People doubting her despite
Her strength – she conquers all.
She breaks through every wall.

Butterfly and Me
A courting we will go
my lovely butterfly and me
fluttering from flower to flower
just you wait and see.
We'll dance atop the thistles
basking in their purple hue
take in the sweet scent of the lavender
and pick a few wild daisy petals too.
Together forever we will be
our romance will carry on
fluttering together from flower to flower
just like a beautiful song.

Butterfly
If the darkness cleaned our bodies
Only would have guided our souls too
If in death we shared in between the end
Only would have let us know
Butterflies in your tummy
Love lasts forever
I have always known
That death lasts forever
Butterflies fly free
Fly free forever
I have always known
That death lasts forever
Butterflies fly free
Fly free forever
If the dreams that filled us with hope
Only would have outlasted us
If the air that we suffocated with
Only hadn't let us go
...
Only would have guided our souls too
If in death we shared in between the end
Only would have let us know
Butterflies in your tummy
Love lasts forever
I have always known
That death lasts forever
Butterflies fly free
Fly free forever
I have always known
That death lasts forever
Butterflies fly free
Fly free forever
If the dreams that filled us with hope
Only would have outlasted us
If the air that we suffocated with
Only hadn't let us go

SMALL GREEN CATERPILLAR
Oh small green caterpillar, destined to transform
With your future of vibrant wings to adorn
Feasting and growing, unaware of what's in store
The tale you weave as I sit and learn
In your cocoon, in slumber so forlorn
Fear not, for you're not on your own
I'll await the morning when you will be reborn
To witness the beauty you have grown
A splendid monarch butterfly, now free to soar
The winds pick up their melody, like a horn being blown
With your future of vibrant wings to adorn
Feasting and growing, unaware of what's in store
The tale you weave as I sit and learn
In your cocoon, in slumber so forlorn
Fear not, for you're not on your own
I'll await the morning when you will be reborn
To witness the beauty you have grown
A splendid monarch butterfly, now free to soar
The winds pick up their melody, like a horn being blown

Waiting on the Wings
Sometimes you have to wait for the right time
For the right place
And when the time comes \ / we know it by heart
Because it just feels right \ / it just feels great
A butterfly knows exactly toO and by natural instinct
When it’s time to transform (.) when it’s time to change
The fantastic metamorphosis(…) is an awakening
Of mind, of body, of spirit, (….) and everything within
Slowly taking shape and form \ / all the while waiting on the wings
For the right place
And when the time comes \ / we know it by heart
Because it just feels right \ / it just feels great
A butterfly knows exactly toO and by natural instinct
When it’s time to transform (.) when it’s time to change
The fantastic metamorphosis(…) is an awakening
Of mind, of body, of spirit, (….) and everything within
Slowly taking shape and form \ / all the while waiting on the wings

confetti
save the glittering flowers
as the sun gathers to play
in confetti colored fields.
scented petals jump upward,
trying to catch the low
swimming butterflies.
whirlwinds gather,
mocking the jealous grass
while they dart through
their expectations.
the bright and happy birds
serenade all willing to listen,
they all pack their bags
and go to their next destination.

weightlessness
A very common caterpillar
eating leaves non-stop.
She dreams of being a butterfly...
Could have been a butterpillar
or it could even be a caterfly...
Ends of the same Gordian knot.
eating leaves non-stop.
