To the Sunflower I Once Loved

Another Response to a poem by a classmate. With wings so robust, a masculine butterfly I am And you a beautiful garden sunflower, I perched down your tender leaf and promised you no harm, With charm and looks; physique and power. I stayed and made memories with you for quite some time, Enjoyed the sweet breeze as we danced and leaped. And as our clandestine tunes found the rhyme, My untold stories you wished to have a peep. Then as you poke this wings of mine; Nightly-colored and slowly blossoming, With my secrets you can't stand listening I revealed my true being. In the far end of the wide flora, I saw another sunflower; With petals shiny as gold; alluring me away from you. Her color and sweet honey made me surrender my power To leave you with your petals wet with dew. I know I made you blue, Set you aside and forgot about memories shared. The wind is strong yet the breeze is sweet; so true, For if time would allow, I would return to the one I once cared.
