Poem Title:
Poem
Her nature was gentle, and as soft as the rain A butterfly so fragile, with procelin skin Fragrant blossom, nectar sweet Bathed in humbled innocence... Entrapment came regaled in white With western charms, this wasp would sting He picked this budding branch with false intent His kisses spent, upon her dainty cheeks So into bliss she flew, caught by wily arms and promises of love, with no intent to keep With fickle breath he stole her heart And played the part without a thought, without a care He was an actor upon this stage....the cage a nuptial made as thin as air He said farewell, with lies and smiles To sail awhile, across the rolling seas Leaving needles in her heart Her frail wings pierced upon the day And when those falsehoods sailed, her love impaled While far away, he spent his charms in other arms Her face would stare upon the tides Her eyes would cry soliloquies Her song would yearn...would he return? Her trust swept into waves... And then a year or more would pass, The child she bore, stood by her side... And still love lasts, and while she waits, the ocean breeze would carry on, those restless seas, the haunting song .... Would carry on and on....she calls.........she calls his name... With futile hopes to ease her pain Her shame to learn the truth, and then to finally learn Another shore......another bride!! Another shore......another bed......to learn such truth...the final dread! She cannot lift her head...the loss....the pain.....! OH! Hide thy face! Oh! Such disgrace...an honor black with shame What cannot be erased.......too much is dead! Her death will free the fragile wings Upon her knees, the final bend By her own hand......her father's knife Will take the life of Butterfly. BUTTERFLY!! Butterfly! ....butterfly!.... ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ("Man's love of his life a thing apart............'Tis woman's whole existence")
