Fishing Butterflies

None shall escape the torment of moment's woe,

The graceful butterfly singers

Glided among dwindling crescendos,

Dancing slow, dancing slow:

Fed only of smiles from him &' her.

We butterflies soared together, yet alone,

Imprisoned within the same boat;

Tangled in separate fishing lines,

Tortured by our crimson whines:

Each flapping back to the ocean.

This is so beautiful it adds a sort of sense of a dream state because of the way is written the added imagery makes it so much more enchanting also a great use of word choice!!

Whoa, talk about whimsical.
"Tangled in separate fishing lines" reminded me of caracels for some reason...
This is really just so beautiful and calm, with numerous artistic images.

Sounds like a love torn apart, I love anything butterflies, this was a delightful read.

'Tangled in separate fishing lines,
Tortured by our crimson whines:
Each flapping back to the ocean.'
