Butterflies dont stayInspiration for this poem is Ruby Tuesday by The Stones for Contest

If you want to name me, call me butterfly.
I need to be free as the birds flying by.
Its not that my ego surged.
Its just that I have emerged.
I am unchained,
and look what I've gained.
A paradox of wandering...

Therapy Sessions**Therapy Session**
Some people insist that a demon exists within all of us.
A rapist is nothing more than a thief,
And it's clear that some public defenders
Don’t have more intelligence than their clients.
Remember, you are not obligated to serve as a juror in every case.
With that understanding, creating a mental trend becomes straightforward.
It's astonishing...

LOVE AND LIGHTLove you shine day and night, sending your light into our thoughts.
Spreading your love with words, that sound kind and have some thought.
Like a director in a movie, your words echo with power, like a bird singing near the window.
That try to direct the listeners with the power of your voice, making all...

In a room with four walls, where light dies like a trapped butterflyIn a room with four walls, where light dies like a trapped butterfly,
stands a mirror, a glass doll, with silver lashes that lie beautifully,
it whispers to me that I am enough, that my shadow dances, that I am not lost,
with sweet words, poisoned honey, telling me I have purpose, that I'm not behind,
that the world...

In Stars AboveYou left this world a better place
Your soul is purest light solid gold
No longer concerned with human race
Up above beyond the earthly trolls
White wind blows in your gentle kiss
Butterfly wings remind me of you
In red heart it’s you we miss
As we sit staring at sky black or blue
In stars above you thrive my love
No lavender...

The Knight And His LanceHello, my final words,
sucked into a snow swirl
but I stutter and look up,
and see wings rapidly
take off and flutter,
from a cloudy cup
Tell me darkest secrets
of the black butterfly
that has came close to death.
We don't need another chance
but the cherished memories,
of a knight and the lance,
his lady and last breaths.

Unplugged
Don't get me wrong
the Olympic men's 50m butterfly
was going along swimmingly strong
but I wonder why
or was it a blunder
when the metaphorical rug
was pulled out from under
by some infernal fool
who removed the plug
from the bottom of the pool
while down the water went
was it hell-bent or heaven-sent
as what was to be gained
when after it drained
puzzled spectators and...

Plastic flowers on my headYou never bothered to inform
That flowers of life go on to decay
As time and the alike storm, sways away.
So I crafted my crown...
Exquisitely out of plastic flowers
And now I'll wear it through the years
Till the colours fade and the fabric tears....

Social ButterflyShe flutters through the velvet air,
A whisper, soft without a care,
In every room her laughter flies—
The radiant, rare social butterfly.
With charm that flows like vintage wine,
She draws the world in every line.
A wink, a word, a glance, a smile,
She makes the mundane worthwhile.
No corner's dark when she appears,
She mends the awkward, calms the fears.
Each stranger's...

The illuminatiAs I speak with strong intent, in my world shall there be illumination
the pyramid of all seeing Truth!
Shall I see it's eye
As I speak with strong intent, let my world be radiant with rainbows of hope !
Every single day,
shall I see its eye....

The Room filled with unwritten poemsA Room Full of Unwritten Poems
A room—
Quite not real though,
Not built of woods or bricks,
Structured with the unfinished and unwritten verses,
Smeared by weathering paint,
More like an echo left without the speaker.
Swaying curtains, now getting silenced.
Door hinges rusted, creaking—
But in my mind,
It’s just similar to those small giggles and laughs
Left behind by the envied person.
Envy because...
