Still Flutters
written 06/11/2010

The Mimosa Yellow butterfly lies on the ground
Like a bit of pale yellow tissue paper
Caught among the blades
Of grass,
Alive, yet still,
Silent.
Like thoughts of you,
It entered my day
Suddenly,
Unexpectedly-
Beautiful, delicate, and natural.
Just like you-
Your heart-
It is an untouchable thing.
As much as I may want to,
I cannot hold you.
I can only hold
Onto my thoughts,
Memories, and
Deep wishes.
The wings of the butterfly
Gently flutter
As you once made my heart flutter
With a single kiss-
A final, unrequited kiss
That still flutters.
My heart lies.
On the ground, like a Mimosa Yellow butterfly-
I am still.
Caught among the blades-
Alive, yet still.
Silent...
Still...
Fluttering.

Rusty...

It's been a long while since I've written any poetry or at the very least since I shared any... Ignore or be kind, please. :)

I awake to you-
Not next to me,
But ingrained in my mind-
With me, but not with me.
I rise.
My thoughts of you rise
Like the Sun in the East-
Daily,
Regularly,
Predictably,
Consistently.
As natural as a breath,
As steady as a heartbeat,
My thoughts of you,
Giving life
To my passion,
Awaking my brain.
Electric with possibility,
We live-
If only within me-
Souls expanding with experiences-
Purposeful,
Potential.
Kinetic,
Our energy a beautiful positivity.
Unexpected,
Unvoiced,
A beautiful secret
Not fully known even to we two.
But
We two,
As two,
Can, too,
Be.
Happy.
