The comfort of lights
Streaked across cafe Windows.
Noise like a blanket.
Cocooned by cacophony,
Refugee from loneliness.

    sarcophagus_ time-out-capsule-inside-womb.

Teacups by the sink.
Lamentations laid to rest.

Breathing  in your life, now gone
Cocooned in your unwashed shirt.

God saw me sheltering
in the darkened end
of my cocooned life,

Come out beautiful creature,
I want you to fly.

there along the beach you'll find
a word cocooned and its echo lost
in a world within the world within my world

Faithfully cocooned,
Caterpillars soon become 
Soaring butterflies:
In your life’s cocooning time,
Seek God’s metamorphosis:-

My Queen

Do you see your King?
perspired
breathing
Musk in your arms..

Come my Queen
stirred
mocha
flower of desire..

Come
cocooned in silk
morning star
your skin on my sheets...

Youth Memorialized

The first and final time
Not that we knew it
Still half closed, to the world
Cocooned eye and wing
As life's adventurer
Love's, without compare.
If wayward, both accounts.
Butterfly-like in.
Form: Rhyme

Untitled 1

sweeping along the crowded wisps
of bygone alleys and trodden pasts
gentle whispers of memories breeze by
teasing today's persistent travails
to rest, urging the now to flee
and into a cocooned closet to lie

Premium Member Treasured

behind a door
that shelters me
from mad hectic
pace of an erratic
hostile world

in isolation
cocooned i cherish
every stolen moment
of lush evanescent
delightful solitude

Premium Member The Right Words

The poet, having found his rhyme,
may sense a shiver down his spine,
cocooned within a rosy glow
exultant that his words now flow.
Emerging from his self-inflicted torture,
the best of words in the very best order.

Premium Member Cocooned In Solitude

Alone with aqua alpine air
The calm cocoon of cotton clouds
Permeates peaceful patience
Taught by teardrop tranquility
Nestled in nocturnal nests
Murmurs the meditative moon
Here, the hallowed hush of heaven.

Summer Butterfly

Summer butterfly
vibrant wings brighten long days
heat from your passion
cocooned 'til our love flies free
as we dream of sweet nectar

Premium Member glowing heart

not merely willing but rather eager
to allocate time to hold hands 
ego comprehends this not 
but heart understands 

alive in each moment
awareness of Self at rest
seeing all forms as God’s light
soul’s cocooned in heart’s bliss nest
Form: Rhyme

Dreamer

I’m a happy dreamer
-I am that cocooned butterfly
In a shell of fragile webs
That dreams of flying, a splitting of the cage
Oblivious to the outside 
Where stretches a spider’s net
Neatly waiting
Oblivious to my dreams
-Oh, happy dreams.

Awakening

While suspended above reality

This choice I had to make

A few more seconds in slumber

So reluctant I was to awake

I settled for cocooned bliss

To content to be concerned

Oblivion beckoned enticingly

My life was thus adjourned.

Premium Member Butterflies Are Free

Butterflies Are Free…
(For Karma Nurisha Wa Kupenda)

I touched a butterfly;
It flew away
Free:

Soaring
Into the gentle breeze.

Through the prism of my tears,
Rainbows caressed the skies:

I miss you
And cherish
The cocooned years.

Premium Member Struggle of a Butterfly

Cocooned in safe world so fragile,
The butterfly flutters by,
Nothing in life comes too facile,
Struggle you must, break in to fly,
Kites of success shall sail on high !

Cocooned awakening

As CHILD awaits
           their bubble to burst,
the winds of change
           whirl in with thirst

Mother nature caresses
           carrying SEEDS for dreams
bestowing greatness
           for a child turning TEEN

I Stand, Alone

I stand, alone.

Scratching for my truths,
peeling away the veneer,

I stand, alone, before this
impregnable cliff so sheer.

Cocooned in my solitary shell,
wrenching a smile from a tear,

I stand, alone, a little odd,
and definitely quite *****.

I stand, alone.
Form:

Steel Grey

I echo your curves,
fluids push into every corner.
You hold,
your stance, immaculate.

I am cocooned in your harmony,
your stability.
You flatter me.

I fill you with the highest of energy,
we revel in our chambers of combustion.

We are not fossils yet.
Form:

Angel dust

Angel dust glides
past the fairy wood
high above ancient boughs
and descends to anoint
my mangled mind 
shot through with the lead
of seething maelstrom
born in the tombs
hewn to cordon frozen angst
bellowing for battle
with steel majesties
cocooned in satin alcoves.
