The Butterflies

The butterflies
 winged insects of nature
Stained within a glass
Within my always forever home 
Church…… 
from a place full of prayer
It beckons me from the altars
It enraptures only my gaze 
The butterflies 
 Its an art…..
 the permaneat forever ink
Embedded on the skin of my white-tanned ankle
The butterflies 
Who I strive to fly towards
Their enchantment  
Untainted by a humans touch
A care free demeanor 
Unsettling the sweet crevice  
inside of me …..
a jealous sin 
thats hidden 
the butterflies……
