Flutter By

[Asphodel]

Flutter by, my butterfly
Tell me when you reach the Spring
Gossamer soft of gentle breeze
carried under silken wing

Oh, Flutter by, my butterfly
But ask me not if I would go
Risk it not, a chance to miss
I could not lose what I might know.

Flutter by, my butterfly
Go swiftly, sweetly towards the dawn
Don’t wait for me, I must beseech,
Pray, turn away and carry on.

Flutter by, my butterfly
To think one single, simple thing
should cause the earthquake of my downfall
Oh subtle flutter of your wing.

Please, flutter by, my butterfly
That I might bask in passing beauty, ‘Lo
Perchance to dream of futures fleeting
Fading where your form may go.

Flutter by, my butterfly
I shall miss what never was
Drift on to the horizon
Danger lies ‘neath crumbling laws.

Flutter by, my butterfly
Allow me this once chance to sing
As the melody flutters past with the wind
My heart carried away on butterfly wing.

I enjoyed reading this poem but it brought sad memories to my mind. I hope that was the intention and if not maybe I'm feeling down and will have to reread it later. Kassie

This was amazing and after studying Edgar Alan Poe's the raven for 3 hours it was great to come home and read something written in the same kind of way yet more cheerful ;D

This poem brought many thoughts to mind and the urge to weep was strong so I think I'll go listen to some hard rock and try to find a middle ground again. Kammie
