The Butterfly Wallows
Black petals of goodbyes embellished the ground
The pinkness goes away as the sun is setting
light begins to disappear as it is drowned
The tides show no chance of forgetting
When you flew away beyond where I can be
The heat of the cold appeared
As the darkness washes over the blue sea
Every speck of existence has been cleared
Longing for the light to be spared
But the Fates have cut the thread
The flowing streams show who cared
Now there is a heavy heart of lead
Nostalgia for the past settles in
When reality begins to show
The sun burnt out before all could begin
And now my precious gem doesn’t glow
A symbol of love hides in the trees
Bringing the longing for the drums beat
But what still exists are the memories
Back when the bitter world was sweet
In the two blue seas it is easy to get lost
And the warmth steals all five senses
The music melted all the frost
Never anything ever tenses
Frolicing in the vibrantly colored meadows
All alone surrounded in undying love
Where benign words of eternity echoes
As a gentle touch is all that was thought of
The butterflies dance with the sun shining down
With fading light a passionate rendezvous takes place
Bringing the wistfulness where she is to drown
Getting lost in the stars of the alluring face
Together the symbol of love is embedded in the tree
The symbol of infinity following
Unknowing of what the ending would be
The butterfly wouldn’t be saved from wallowing
Black petals of goodbyes embellished the ground
The pinkness goes away as the sun is setting
light begins to disappear as it is drowned
The tides show no chance of forgetting
When you flew away beyond where I can be
The heat of the cold appeared
As the darkness washes over the blue sea
Every speck of existence has been cleared
Longing for the light to be spared
But the Fates have cut the thread
The flowing streams show who cared
Now there is a heavy heart of lead
Nostalgia for the past settles in
When reality begins to show
The sun burnt out before all could begin
And now my precious gem doesn’t glow
A symbol of love hides in the trees
Bringing the longing for the drums beat
But what still exists are the memories
Back when the bitter world was sweet
In the two blue seas it is easy to get lost
And the warmth steals all five senses
The music melted all the frost
Never anything ever tenses
Frolicing in the vibrantly colored meadows
All alone surrounded in undying love
Where benign words of eternity echoes
As a gentle touch is all that was thought of
The butterflies dance with the sun shining down
With fading light a passionate rendezvous takes place
Bringing the wistfulness where she is to drown
Getting lost in the stars of the alluring face
Together the symbol of love is embedded in the tree
The symbol of infinity following
Unknowing of what the ending would be
The butterfly wouldn’t be saved from wallowing
There are somethings you will never forget. I wrote this based off the feelings the person that I love described if anything were happen to me. The feeling of bittersweet nostalgia haunting him forever. The poem begins by describing death and the feelings of the mourners. Then there are the memories that bring longing for the past. Memories from a romantic relationship are depicted, drawing the picture of the couples love. But the "passionate rendezvous" that takes place as the sun sets represents the girls last goodbyes before she "is to drown". But even though she chose to end her life, "the wistfulness" she felt was her having second thoughts after "Getting lost in the stars of the alluring face". They had declared their eternal love. Her lover was caught by surprise of her actions and was absolutely devastated. This is a tragic love poem about a boy describing his lovers death and the feelings that came with it.
