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.
Into something big, lovely,
Bold and majestic. She shows

And surviving through any
Storm. How I want to be like

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.
my lovely butterfly and me

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.

butterfly...
I am
an invisible
butterfly
hidden
from the world
roam
from place to place
explore
every inch of bar
celebrate
the pleasure of flesh
suck
the nectar
flutter
in silent heart
fall in love
with the flowers
taking shape
swim
in the sea of sensuality
disappear
into the fog...

Flying Low
The butterfly poet
Has wings
Hasn't mastered flying just yet
Having some adjustments made
By a local vet
And also aware
That i'm afraid of heights
So flying low
(Has other analogies
Don't you know!)

A Bed Of Flowers
I shall float freely
Upon the warming breezes
After i have arisen
From my linen petals
And marshmallow pillows
My silken wings
A tapestry of colour
Fluttering
Under a noon day sun
I sense the sweet nectar
Of the mid- Autumnal blossoms
Their gentle aromas
Carried on the wind
My head feels light, and heady
And whimsical
And like a fickle, fey, fae
My wings dance
I am
A zephyr ballerina
As i whirl
And swirl
Over soft, and rolling meadows
The sun
Becomes a bloodied yellow
As it...
Upon the warming breezes
After i have arisen
From my linen petals
And marshmallow pillows
My silken wings
A tapestry of colour
Fluttering
Under a noon day sun
I sense the sweet nectar

Carried on the wind
My head feels light, and heady
And whimsical
And like a fickle, fey, fae
My wings dance
I am
A zephyr ballerina

The sun
Becomes a bloodied yellow

Black Butterfly
The heart locket I have opened
Looks like a butterfly
But it’s so dark, with no picture
And it tells me lies
I saw it start to fly out of my hand
I realize I don’t have a net
I would like to capture it back
I wouldn’t mind it as a pet
The color of it is black
I sit in a meadow, wondering why?
It tries to lift me up to join
But I couldn’t reach the sky
I remember when I was that free
Before I was put behind glass
Maybe my wings were getting weak
How is this butterfly able to last?
The beauty of...

Verdigris Wings
Green butterflies
Oft times jaded
Camouflaged
Invisible
Within the trees
Chameleon
Fairy-like creatures
Lost in translation
Verdigris wings
Olive body
With emerald eyes
Hidden
Within the beautiful tapestry
Of the forgotten forests
Wings
Hanging on a sweet zephyr
The silent music
Of a stringless aeolian
Light as down feathers
Caught within
A psithurism
Soft
As a gentle kiss
And as arid
As the silken sun
Unspun
