~
*A firefly, me,
Trudged with a burden of light.
A fortuitous break
Came with my sight.
A blue cosmos
Bloomed along the trail—
An ephemeral ocean,
An insect’s sail.
So blue of love,
His innocent ways—
Through filmy eyes,
They melt in waves.
A mini sun
For a patch of blue;
Or so I wished
Would come soon true.
For I followed
A honeybee,
And through her wings
Floats thoughts unseen.
How cruel of me,
To betray my friend—
Through silent speech
And frowns I bend.
To compensate
The guilt I feel,
I'll become the all-seeing eye
Of the light she needs.
After all, she needs it
More than me.
I feed on rot—
She feeds on nectar sweet.
I am but a mini sun
Miles from an ocean blue
I’ll be your flask of light
Bond in emerald hues.*
