I Was Just Thinking That If Newborns Came Out Regular Size That Would Most Likely Hurt

I A FLIGHTLESS BUTTERFLY I was deaf because mine eyes were fixated on lips that your words were dripping from The lips I could see being purified and baptized by a shared glass of rum you asked me to help with something but you were just as capable as I And when you’d leave and return it was always loveliness my eyes did espy You asked me a litany of questions when you wouldn’t answer one But I’d know more about truth when our conversations were done All I know is that your thoughts of joyfulness impressed me so And when asked if I thought our love would come to an end I prayed to answer no When I first saw you I was stunned by your countenance divine The first thing you said to me that made me smile I recall line by line So here’s what we’ve established thusly and up to this point It is your tangible tenderness that the essence of you came to anoint But love isn’t always confetti floating gently to the ground It ends when something tells you that you’re losing what you finally found Because love is more than dancing on a rooftop on a speckled sky night And two hearts that meet and both souls suddenly take flight Love is working to work it all out for the both of you Love is vowing to do whatever your lover wants you to do Love is springtime when lilies lift their heads to the sun But as fleetingly fast as love had begun it can too easily become undone © 2011.…… Phreepoetree
