Butterfly Lines - a collection of love poems and short stories

English Poems

Forever and Always.

Death has no power to end what life has begun.
All it brings
Is a day or more of tears and grieving
a moment or more of sorrow and longing.

Queen Mother of my Heart

Your eyes
abeam with rays of love
and softly edged with pride,
when they rest on me

The Question of Love.

I tossed a question in the wind
“Please tell me what is love?”
On a breeze the answer came:
“Look inside your heart, you’ll find it there.

Coffin for the living.

Gift of love
born from my womb
perfectly created
part of my soul

I’m Ready.

The walk of life brought me here
Tucked away in my own little world
Far from the known
Apart from the loved

Resistance.

My senses took flight
along with my will to resist
the onslaught of desire
for one who’s preoccupied (with reason)

My special Friend.

Gentle giant,
you seized my heart
and freed my captured soul.
You gave me back my smile,

I sacrifice my love.

For God so loved this world
He sacrificed
The only Son that He would ever have.
A love so perfect and so pure

Touched.

Blessed are you
Who have eyes to see
Yet look with your soul
Have hands to feel

Escape.

Shh..be quiet
Listen to the whisper from my soul.
I wish I could
With a gentle kiss upon your brow

Wounded, Caring Heart

When happiness brightens your day
I'm glad for you.
When a cloud of sadness chase the sun away
I want to hold and comfort you.

Glorious Daybreak

Lord, if I could capture
with pallet, paint and brush
the glorious golden colour
as You gently lift the sun

A farewell wish

The time for us to say goodbye
Is drawing near.
Why do you have to go?
Now that I lost my heart

My dying wish.

You are the one I would die for,
slowly and painfully,
and I am.

Return my Gift.

Yesterday
I gave you my heart
Hoping you would treasure
The gift I gave unselfishly.

My reality, my dream.

Like reality
wrapped in a dream
such is my love for you.

Delightful Age of Spring.

Like a newborn rosebud
Pure and untouched
Such is my young heart.
Ready to bloom

One day.

If I could don you
like I did my clothes,
the night you showed me
how to loose one's senses

In your heart.

You might think he’s gone, but he is not. When you look at the empty space he has left behind, and your heart aches with longing, close your eyes and call him into being.

Feel my love.

There are so many words
To tell you how I feel.

I could say:
My love is like a diamond in the rough,

Seasons of life.

You wonder – what’s the worth of living?
Open your eyes and see
The beauty that surrounds you,
The flowers and the trees.

My miracle.

Can it be that you were but a wish,
A dream, a desire, the missing piece?
Till God answered my prayer, my plea,
The happy day I held you close to me.

Vixen on the move

I’m a gutsy little vixen, determined and sly when I’m in pursuit.
The kind of girl who knows what she wants, and what I want is you.
You can run you can hide, but you can’t escape, no matter what you do.

All because of you.

Why does the moon enchant me so?
Perhaps I’m bewitched by your smile.
Are the stars above shining brighter,
Or can it be the love in your eyes?

Golden Years

His sweetheart,
That is what he calls her,
As he fondly touched her wrinkled face.
She looked at him

Deaths defeat

Each solitary night,
Soon as the light of day
Reach for the broad horizon,
The sun escapes and hides away,

Lovers rendezvous.

Sweet lady of my heart, what is it that I see?
Laid bare there in your eyes, perhaps desire, can it be?
If so, in that event, I confess wholeheartedly,
What you emanate, is a burning flame inside of me.

You.

Listen closely
When you hear my heart calling
Out to you.

Straight talk.

Hello tall, dark handsome man,
With your graceful, easy stride.
Do you have a minute?
Come. Let me take you on a ride.

To Dad, with love.

I appreciate what you do for me.
Youre sensible and wise,
Always around when I need advise.
Easeful and quiet,

To Mother, with love.

With a heart full of love and a tender touch,
You nurtured, raised and cared for me.
Attended to my needs, forgot your own,
How fortunate and blessed one can be,

Adieu.

You ask me how I'm doing,
Afraid not too well at all.
Do you remember?

Taken down

Hey, sexy player,
You've done it again.
Stole someones heart,
Tore it apart,
But today is the day
You're gonna pay.

Let Me Know

Open the pages of your mind.
Perhaps Ill find a verse or two,
Maybe a sentence, a few words,
Dedicated to me, with love, from you.

Flying Solo - Butterfly

There she goes, flying solo
Just a dainty little butterfly.
Exquisite, delicate wings, lightly fluttering,
Touching each flower, playfully flirting,

A Lesson from the Past

I WANTED YOUR FRIENDSHIP
BUT YOU CHOSE TO BEFRIEND OTHERS.
I WANTED YOUR COMPASSION
BUT YOU CHOSE NOT TO NOTICE MY DESPAIR

One More Chance

BEFORE WE SAY GOODBYE
GIVE ME BUT ONE MORE CHANCE

You're not here

I hear your voice
In the autumn breeze
But you're not here.
I see your face

Thy will be done.

In a garden, anguished, troubled,
On his knees a Man in prayer.
With a heart so full of sorrow,
His face reflecting pain and fear.
