"Butterfly's are Free"

A thousand smiles within those eyes

And still you walked away

I thought forever that you would be

The sunshine in my day.

A thousand times I dried your tears

And sang a song to you

I walked you through the darkest times

My love was always true.

A thousand nights have come and gone

And still I hear your song

Funny how the heart remembers

Even when you're gone.

A thousand poems I've yet to write

through eyes that finally see

You don't go chasing dreams my friend

For butterfly's are free.

Your work flows smoothly....very well written
You've got talent brother.....

[Night]

Thank you very much...=)

[Dhaye]

This is an excellent poem Night. If a man wept upon reading this piece, how could a woman resist her tears, too? Perhaps we just have taken the same road...that's why I always can relate to your works. I can see my soul in this piece. Those words are what I want to express in my crafts, too. And you know, a butterfly is something memorable for me and my sister.

You do more on couplets, don't you? I really like couplets. I have many couplets from my portfolio.
Good rhyme scheme. Thanks for this share.

This one was a very deep and emotional write for me...seen through the eyes of the spirit, written by man....thank you so very much...=)

[Adam Lebzo -RonninWarri..]

God knows I wept when I read this.
You are a poet from a different realm, my friend

Outstanding! Just outstanding!!

I knew this one would hit hard....she broke my heart she did....but I'm back and writing again. Thank you for the compliment for sure.....=)

[Cassie]

This is sad, so very sad.

[Night]

Oh Cassie you just don't know how hard this one was on me....but life goes on and this poet shall as well.....much love and thanks my friend...=)

[Time's The Bond]

It is sad. It was probably hard to leave only sometimes you need to be with some one for even ten years to know if they are right if this was aimed towards the death of somebody then disregard what I said back there

[Night]

Love hurts when they walk away from you...=(

[Time's The Bond]

So I hear...

[Southern Cross]

[Night]
