Best Cocoon Poems

Life is a beautiful liar,
where hope is a 
graveyard of caterpillars.
Death is an ugly truth,
where virgin butterflies 
flutter immortally.

Love is the only true guide.

Oh my beloved, 
when you hid behind 
a veil of metaphors,
I wrote your name in the sand, 
with simple words,
watched as the...

"Cocoon"

They say...
a New World 
traces over the old,
leaving the unaware,
erased, far behind 

the old unaware, 
left far behind,
crawls the walls
in its web of lies
spinning suspect 
strings of silk 
in the air

glistening diamond nets
slick and sticky with the sense 
of capturing a life 
drowning in teardrops
that...

Every chrysalis
A butterfly in waiting
To sip buds' nectar

Wrapped in God's love,
gives you the rare ability to see
wonderful things never dreamed of,
beautiful things that will only exist in eternity

A silken veil is God's love,
encases your mind with thoughts divine
Your heart undergoes a transformation,
new angel wings are now perfectly aligned

Waiting to fly always on...

As you lay in love’s sweet cocoon,
let me feast on your nectar til’ noon.

Your sweetness is so very divine,
beloved, you taste like a rare wine.

The more that I drink, I need a refill,
I can bask here of my own free will.

On this day of love,...

Fly me to the moon
Play us the bedroom tunes
The nod-nod head of lovers’ hoots
Let’s twirl this tango as David in jolly mood
And coil in celestial honeymoon cocoon.

The Cocoon.
 The Inner woman was a myth in eyes of the oppressed
 Limited to one
 To one that gives her life
 The layers of her thoughts lay dipped in his hands
 Controlling the pieces of what was hers and what was his
 She was...

Cocoon

I found a moth cocoon of silken thread
--A substance indestructable they say--
Almost unseen–his earthbrown, narrow bed
Where, patiently, the silent captive lay.
I thought to put him in a jar, to own,
To watch, to cherish his emerging form, 
But No! The case was broken, he had flown!
His...

COCOON
I do appreciate that you are here
but one day soon I know you'll disappear
into the mist
I'll fly on butterfly wings.

I know you see someone you think is me
but nothing's really what it seems to be,
it's just a dream
that flies on butterfly wings.

It's not that I...

I find a friendly darkness
between the drops of rain;
I welcome skies of gray
that open up and ease my pain.

It matters not how hard
the scented drops may fall;
they enter in my soul
to wash away the gall.

Suddenly, with loud crashes,
or gently, all day long,
I revel in the...

COCOON
I do appreciate you being here
but you should know I'll slowly disappear
into the mist
I'll fly on butterfly wings.

I know you see someone you think is me
but nothing's really what it seems to be,
it's just a dream
that flies on butterfly wings.

White light.
Never ending bright light

From a cocoon to a butterfly,
I am transformed for heaven.
Just when it seems life is over,
A new immortal life I’m given.
What happens to me on earth
Is totally up to God,
So I’ll remain surrendered
To the path He wants trod.

If I should die here,
God gives me a...

The Butterfly Cocooned

Noon
Beneath higher twig tips, 
    my heart flutters
Near converging branches.

My cocoon
Rests
Mid-high the strength 
    and distinctive character
Of a gnarly tree.  Embracing me.
This, my home…Cocoon.

Night.
This essential place,
Protecting
Above the swirling world,
Puzzling with its mixing motions
Of lights, colors, temperatures,
Until...

Cocoon of silk the caterpillar spins
Intricately lovely a work of art
This is the moment change begins
Metamorphose will surely start
Magical chrysalis full of life
One day a fine beauty will emerge
Butterfly magic with wings so bright
Happiness complete sadness purged
Exquisite wings are a godly gift
Fluttering in warmth, summer...
