Butterfly Lines - a collection of love poems and short stories

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.
I see the mischief in your eyes,
Notice your gentle smile.
I like your soothing, calming voice.
May I have your attention for a while?

You remind me of a tiger,
Calm, alert and confident.
Youre an enigma, of one kind,
You personify the wind.
Youre courteous and intelligent,
With inexhaustible energy.
Always mindful of the needy.
Where you are needed, there youll be.
You are very conscientious
Charitable, helpful, kind indeed.
Solving everybodys problems,
Available for all in need.

But is it fair to those who love you?
The people closest to your heart?
Who could never bear to loose you,
Nor forever be apart.
You move around from place to place.
Always busy, on the run.
Never-ending tasks to do,
Its all work, no time for fun.

Tell me what is on your mind.
What are you running from?
Why keep yourself so occupied?
Is it something cumbersome?
A cross, a burden hard to bear?
What is it you are scared to face,
Or do not want to think about?
Circumstances you cant change?

Try other things to fill your mind.
One hour a day dream, fantasize.
I guarantee youll be relaxed.
In your own secret paradise.
Sounds childish and a waste of time
Yet it always work for me.
Transport yourself to a heavenly place
Do what you want, be what you want to be.
Every soul needs to escape
And leave all cares behind.
We need the balance in our lives.
Just keep an open mind.

When you feel the need to talk,
Feel sad, depressed, alone,
Even if you need to vent,
Just pick up the phone.
My friendship does not have a price.
Nor are there strings attached.
Ill always be right here for you.
Im loyal to you. Thats a fact.

Youve taught me life is precious,
To live it to the full.
Enjoy the pleasures, endure the pain,
Be sure my friend, I will.
Now let me say whats in my heart,
Good sir, with due respect.
You need a break, be cool, relax.
Take time to just reflect.
The bible says there is a time
For everything. Thats true.
Enjoy whatever else you do,
But please, make time for you!!!!

If you really care for others
You should take care of yourself.
How can we possibly love another?
If one does not love oneself.
Do not abuse your body,
Its the temple of our God.
With proper nourishment and rest,
Youll function better for the Lord.

You may call me presumptuous,
Overbearing, pestilent too.
Impertinent or crazy,
But know this: I care for you.
Please, do each one you love a favor,
Be sure to get more rest.
Though, if you do not heed my warnings,
In my eyes youre still the best.

Butterfly.
