Flourish of a pen
Fresh ink dries on crisp paper –
Worlds are torn apart
Flourish of a pen
Fresh ink dries on crisp paper –
Worlds are torn apart
Even if I crawl on my knees
Beg with an outstretched hand
Even if I am overcome with raging desire
Surrounded with butterflies from
My head down to my toes
Please, I plead of you
In my temptation
Overpowered –
Please!
Stay away from
Me
I tripped over all the butterflies fluttering within and without and as soft as they were, I wished them away, you and I are no more, and I love all that you were and all that you meant and all the passion and anticipation and touch and it is time. I wave them all, I wave all those ghost butterflies away.
If I never see you again
If I never hear your voice
If I never lose myself in your eyes
I will never forget –
Ever forget
The catch of my breath
Fluttery butterflies
Racing heart –
A melting of myself
Into sweet delicious
You
I take a moment
To feel the life within
I embrace the magic
Of a rhythmic beating heart
The music plays
My soul is stirred
And I surround myself
With love
Relaxing on the bus, listening to music, feeling happy, content because Friday, when suddenly he pops up in my view, and before I know it and can even stop it
Butterflies
Question of the ages.
Because the smile is so flashy white.
Because the light shining, when it shines, is so dazzling bright that everything else pales in comparison.
So I hold out for those moments. Those brief periods of payoff when everything else is forgotten.
And then the tears. With the brutal dismissal. And would there be care or empathy or kindness? No. The light is off, and it may or may not be switched on again. Whenever. It is not about me.
And so the world revolves around the narc. Planet Narc. You either like it or you don’t.
Seeking new beginnings
Waiting for the thrill
Impatiently enduring
Time’s boring bitter pill
Can my life be altered
Somewhere near or far?
Lift me from my current
To the nearest star!
Out towards the heavens
My eyes – they lift aright
For I hope tomorrow
Dawns after this long night
My mind tortures me
With memories of time shared –
Always in my heart
for you
for our friendship
for love
for what cannot be
for memories
for desire
for wanting to be with you
for your lack of care
