The Butterfly

A four stanza poem describing the beauties and harsh truths of this amazing creature.

A floating heartbeat

Two faced, constantly flickering in light

Never close. Untouchable

Delicate silk, oh so delicate

One touch to shatter rainbows

Delicate rainbows. Untouchable

A curled tongue, no need for lips

For lips are a gentle kiss

Dare not caress. Untouchable

Nature shreds your wings, unusable

A leaf saves you, a marooned island

Where you are, untouchable.
