Butterfly Feelings
Kenny March Feb 2012
Chase the sweetest nectar,
Blown here and there by the wind,
Chased by the storm, bask in the sun,
Endless pursuit of the ideal fun.

Battered bruised and blown off course,
But taking advantage of endless joys.
The random motion, erratic, jerky,
The sporadic flights, ever quirky.

The essence of beauty, sign of peace,
The free spirit, wanderer of love,
A creature beyond the mortal despair,
Floating gracefully through the air.

What is a cage, bars of steel walls of stone,
Or the binding placed on the soul,
Keeping one down, held in place,
The torments and torture bringing disgrace.

Don’t let the beauty be restrained,
The essence of freedom be contained,
By the woes of despair, chronic pain,
The pangs of hurt that drive insane.

The warm breeze will slip off your wings,
The flower fall out of reach,
But summer comes evermore,
With the wings of beauty it will restore.

King/Clown
Kenny March Nov 2012
Shake it off...
and just push play.
Watch me build it on high,
just to watch it all fall down.

Through the mud we slough,
Beneath the cloud darkened day,
Golden rays pierce the sky,
At twilight frolics the king, the clown...

If Only You Knew
Kenny March Feb 2012
Grab my hand,
Don't be afraid.
We'll run, laugh,
Never look back.
Fearless and insane,
We are invincible.
Don't you understand?
Can't you see?
I'm hopeless, spellbound,
And yet.... Free.

Musings
Kenny March Feb 2012
Chaos
Neverending
Eternity
Unrelenting.
Of my time spent still and alone,
Never have I thought that more was to be found.
Of the outer turmoil, none were aware,
The inner, my feelings, they surround.
In the chaos of my conscience,
Amidst the clamor that is my soul,
I find peace in an angel,
A dream of light, which makes me whole.
Though my reasons may be malformed,
My morality guided, notions are pure,
My heart long since decided,
I follow that which cannot be sure.
In my neverending search,
I dream of that beyond my sight,
Of something more and greater,
That which shall release me, unto the light.
I know now what is lost and gone,
Of what I had the chance to be.
An eternity of agony, despair, gloom, etc.
Now rests in plain sight before me.
But never shall I submit, my fate is unrelenting,
I’m bound for that which is greater.
Those who hold me back, contain me with harsh words,
They know not, of my friends they are the traitors.

Limitless is the potential, boundless are my skies,
If only sought and found, through all the endless lies.
I look and see naught, but those two chaotic eyes,
Beauty bound and held still, rapturous, unheeding of my cries.
Destroyers of worlds, breakers of all but despair, yet hope
They bring unto me, like the last salvation, a saving rope.
It is mine to climb into that beyond, into something better, greater,
To make myself into something, or more, to be a creator.

Alternate
Kenny March Dec 2012
A voice in the dark...
(am i ok?)
Silent screams, in a landscape so stark...

We walk between the day, the night,
When you can't trust your eyes,
Your ears, your instincts... not your sight....
When senses fail, tell naught but lies,
When shadows bend... walk in the light...

My Lullaby
Kenny March Oct 2012
Rain, rain, pound away,
The sun will shine another day.
Til that golden orb sits high,
The rain shall be my lullaby ♥
