PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

Don’t whisper into the wind

with hopes that it will carry the truth away

on the wings of a red-orange monarch,

to an enchanted world of perfection.

Didn’t anyone tell you?

It always rains in paradise.



Shatter your glass eye

like you did the butterfly cage.

Eurhythmy is a delicacy you won’t find

until you see the beauty in my darkest flaws

and misconceptions.



I cannot wait for your gradual recovery

from this exopathic nightmare.

Why does monogamy frighten you?

Is my nectar not sweet?

Hold your breath and I won’t taste as strong.



Bat your lashes against my cheek

and call it a butterfly kiss-

a friendly reminder that you hate intimacy.

Pretend to care that thorns pierce wings,

and I might believe your butterfly lies.
