My Butterfly Gift
Words be our only true weapon
Scrolled pages turned rungs on a ladder
Questing laments to find our own heaven
With lost love on parchment do we anoint
Sharpened feathers to write blunt points
Inkwell to dip these unfulfilled years
Filled and cast to pages of scratched tears
Give us wings to see us freefall
Our sky bus takes flight surely to stall
Just a moment more in balancing worded line
Higher do takes us to see our design
Witness this our mistress in fading dreamscapes
Where once to these eyes we made our escape
Sitting on minds to partake
Dictation to our taxing mindful inflation
Throw each verse as it comes with sneeze
To these pages of trees once swaying in breeze
Fold these letters so ever gently
Each crease be a fleeting lost memory
Notations I gave to heart for final proof
That each line be my love not be lost to the astute
Cursed words so worded the empathic absurd
Hear my call of this winged emotional reverb
Place your head to my beating death
Hearing the sound of my worlds crown I left
Screaming to you every flutter of regret in that locked chest
Wrap them in cobwebs we state on our love
Statement to attain our first missed fate
Never in splendours surrender shall I find you again
Words written but never to your beauty have I said
Pieces given to wrap you in me that once bled
Lady of sky fall and mystery
Time be already gone of coming history
I send you these pages of stained misery
Folded with no misaligned crease so perfectly
Waiting in many seasons gone
No birds do I hear sing to me in song
Words I wish find your golden wings
Lost on your floating wreck we call life so unsure
Do you be there still in times lost memoirs
Will I ever look above to see my love ever soar
From love hidden in our longest dawn
Give my pain at final dusk its yearning trust
Guiding light be pathways to find her feet once more
My lost love in floating bottles to your call
Our broken angel no ocean do you cry
Mend your heart with my beautiful butterfly
Place it over those poor battle scars
My inspiration, my moon, my star
Love yourself in times where happiness be far
Know I love you no matter where you stare upon stars
