Captivating Time
He is tired of seeing everyday
the scintillating sun rises and sets,
craves to capture the captivating time
as a beguiled butterfly flitting away
beyond the halcyon horizon.
So, on daybreak he starts to run,
his butterfly chase has begun
to hold time in control,
decide when the sun will rise and set,
how long the torn heart will dream.
The butterfly flies away far,
in its wake his past tapestry
he sees weaved with agony strands.
As he closes the dismal eyes,
dormant emotions well up in the present.
Melted rainbow stream flows to the future,
gust of hope clears the cloud of gloom,
he sees the butterfly return.
While he slips in the runnel of tear,
he is captured by the captivating time.
