Vee Bdosa Poet Sonnet

Notes About The Poem

It should have been breathe, I got lazy, Thank you Judy

Butterflies

BUTTERFLIES
I could have been the one to make you see,
had not your heart been closed to my advance!
Had not your eyes been turned away from me,
and if you’d only given me one chance;

if you had only heard the cries of pain,
each time you turned away, or dropped your eyes,
each wound was deep, and left its blood soaked stain,
but never stopped the birth of butter?ies

within this life, whenever you were there,
I’d never have to see you, they would know,
and challenge me to things my heart would dare,
from deep within; but I could never go

right up to you! My knees would fail--but fast!
and you would laugh--and I would breathe my last.

Eileen Manassian September 4, 2015 at 9:18 AM I can see why Judy likes your writing so much. I love sonnets....This was a beautiful piece, and that final couplet really brought it home. Vee Bdosa September 4, 2015 at 10:04 AM Thank you Eileen, yep Judy has been a tremndous influence on my poetry for several years,,also, Maya Angelou, when I first started writing seriously, Maya read some of it, and liked it enough to contact me and gave me lots of tips that I still use to this very day.
