My mind fills with the thought of you
Best friends and we've come to terms with the tension we've built
after all of these years
In the process of becoming everything we've ever wanted to be
My heart races and my lungs fill with flowers
I will continue to wait to have you completely
but until then I will sit in the empty void of question
Is this reality?
Meredith Darrah Feb 2018
Dancing alone 'till our feet become sore in the dark void of tension with nothing but our tired bodies and tired eyes until 5 am
Our eyes hold on to each other as our bodies move to every note
With each move we become more aware of the unanswered feelings
We are building something beautiful

Alas, is there truly no excuse for me?


(sonnet #MMMMMMCMXVIII)


Take icy cloth's embroidered linen's sense
Of April's warmth to task for darts, as hale
Pink butterflies weave paths to yonder's bail,
And what is stylish now is red, deep hence
With snappy blue in patterns I've tossed thence
Aside as "not my taste," and oh! t'avail
How Valentines' tricks out most ads' detail
With hearts in tow, where I've none in defense.
Remember how our heavy kissing's tour
Of things I'd never tasted, left me too
Far Dis-illusioned in betrayl, as poor
As all that, and I miss the violets dew
In silver droplets used to kiss as twere.
So flowrs are knit on linen while none woo.

Hello.
Jenny Gordon Feb 2018
...like, "if you must remain nobly a ****** unto death in lieu of marrying divorced or ungodly men, buck up and be thankful." or something like that.  


(sonnet #MMMMMMCMVI)


If butterflies were dancing gaily hence
Across these wastes, likeas in sheer betrayl
Pink 'non embroidered ones do whilst flutes scale
Soft notes and trip too merr'ly for intents
Now through the minutes I work pinning thence
An ancient zipper to this skirt, we'd hail
Sweet joy no, aye?  But thin white clouds 'gain veil
Blue skies til shadows' ghosts fade, and's pretense.
Did I complain too much ere, that as twere
I'm punished with ne best friend?  No man'd woo
Affections then, but he was toying in poor
Excuse with me, or was divorced.  None do
Ha, ha now either, flutes in lieu what stir
Fond visions as I bend oer sewing's cue.

Funny thing is...why haven't I been so cheerful in two weeks now?

I want to light 

My couch on fire

Because whenever I turn the corner

All I see is you 

Running your fingers

Through my hair

While I’m looking up 

Smiling

Then I blink

And you disappear.

I don’t keep 

My phone on me

Anymore

What’s the point?

Your name won’t show up

And everyone else is white noise

Compared to your bass

That revived the butterflies 

Making them dance in

What now is a vacant space.

I’m thinking 

If I keep myself busy

Maybe my heartbreak 
won’t catch up to me

But this day will end

I’ll run out of breath

The pinnacle of my anxiety

Crushes me like a train

For now my nightmare is living

A sunset without you again.

Butterflies gracefully drifted
upon staircases in many buildings
following innate senses.

They glided blessing
each step with their presence.
Energizing walls with their fluttering wings.

Why they moved
in metal and plastered jungle was a mystery
only their spirit knew.

They floated climbing higher and higher
and when reaching the top
the answer became clear.

Butterflies in sacred form
were anointing the staircase
with love.
With purpose to awaken
all who followed
as man, and insect kingdom
were meant to unite in
earth new blueprint for harmony.
The
orchestration of Mother Gaia.

Young love,
Sweet as honey, yet leaves
a bitter taste lingering
rendering you unable to forget him
Leaves your core coiled
in knots
leaving you bereft of butterflies
that once fluttered
Excretes voluminous tears
      that never before existed

Young love,
every void filled
but as barren as land
you run miles & miles
until your heart succumbs
just to call him your man.

sleep now, my darling
it will be alright
you'll wake up in a land of butterflies and light
with no monsters to follow you
no need to rush through the night
just sleep now, my darling
don't bother to fight
A bit different than my normal style, I know. I quite like it, though.

Your smile brightens up my day,
Suddenly everything feels okay,
As long as I have you by my side,
I don't have to worry, and I don't have to hide.

These butterflies won't seem to go,
That's just fine because I know,
I'm lucky to always have them there,
A constant reminder of how much I care.

Being with you pushes me to fly,
You're really the sweetest, I wouldn't lie,
You're the reason I laugh, also why I smile,
I'm the happiest I've been in awhile.

I hope that I mean something to you,
I want you to think about me too,
Will you tell me that this feels right?
That is my only wish tonight.
