Paralleled Fates

White roses grew in my mouth 
Drunk in ambrosial poetries 
Craving for love from a butterfly 
'til perpetual darkness. 
 
Argentine crepuscule stole my happiness 
Caliginous skies swallowed my entity 
Still waiting for her to come 
Seems I have to wait 'til morning sun 
 
When will you come butterfly? 
The flowers are dying, still I haven't seen you 
Slowly losing my ephemeral hope 
What is love without the sun? 
 
Petals furled, leaves dried 
Flowers in my mouth evanesce per hue 
Shade after shade, I learned to forget 
To end this perennial blue. 
 
Leisurely accepted the things that I shouldn't 
Heart just closed that once was open 
Forgot and moved on, learned stop hoping 
When eyes have noticed that she is coming.
