Butterfly Returned With Dream
Star-starved opaque night
condensed in darkness
petrified cold niche
of my stone carved mind.
Flattened sentiments
accreted numbness
layer on layer
until the time came
my horizon rose
from cauldron of mist
with sunburst passion
fervent hues painted
the sky of your heart
in dark debris bloomed
a new dawn for me.
Garden of desire
lured the butterfly
disappeared for long.
Flitting on yearning
it returned with dream.
On its latticed wings
I flew enraptured
in your fragrant air.
