Love That Elusive Ephemeral Butterfly
That sometimes comes to stay and
Sometimes flies away too soon
Did it come and perch on your cheek
Or snuggle in your heart
And stayed or been pried out
By hapless word or action
Did it return or forever vanish
Or did it peer in unasked for
From an unthought of place
Did it come and go or
That sometimes comes to stay and
Sometimes flies away too soon
Did it come and perch on your cheek
Or snuggle in your heart
And stayed or been pried out
By hapless word or action
Did it return or forever vanish
Or did it peer in unasked for
From an unthought of place
Did it come and go or
Did it come to settle
Did you make a choice
Did you even try
Did you feel a stubborn need to
Hold on to a few drops of nectar
Whilst you still live your humdrum life
Were you ready to risk it all
Or did you want to maintain
Balance and not upset anything
Too much. And curtailed and
Compartmentalized emotions for various parties
Duties and various kinds of bonds.
And did you try to make peace
Within yourself rather than hanker for more
=To be content with a few drops of nectar
And no more.
