To the Butterflies

Butterfly, explain to me
How did this happen?
I walked carefully

I'm lost for words
Reading between the lines
Leave me breathless, undefined

Angst and hope, they contradict
Your wings aflutter,
fine and quick

Create a spark, pure attraction
Melt the ice
an equal reaction

Wings of gossamer
Intangible weight
Strike a balance, complicate

Unique deftness, a twofold gift
Makes me nervous
Constant shift

Defying logic, thing I hate
Excite a fire
Anticipate

I look to you, one of flight
Dance a bit closer
This feels right

  1. Hey Helen, this is really good. I'm not sure if it's ok with you that I read this, but I'm a nosy person. So I apologize in advance.

    Is there someone special you wrote this for? (don't answer that here, and don't answer if you don't want to) Because, I know that feeling, when poetry takes flight, and "this feels right." I feel that way about only one girl. And you know who she is ;)
