POEM STARTER
Submitted by Maranda Quinn
While chasing your ghost, I became one myself.
Butterfly Kisses.
Like a graceful butterfly,
You fluttered my poor heart,
You were stunning in every way,
I couldn’t just let you go.
I enjoyed your company,
Your presence left me stunned,
But you wished to be the dam,
That stopped the flow of my love.
Like a sandcastle near the shore,
You washed away my poor heart,
And left me to rebuild alone,
Yet I still want you with me.
I searched for you afar and wide,
On all crevices of land, water, sky,
Holding onto the gentle trick,
Of your faux butterfly kisses.
Yet it seems you’ve left this world,
I couldn’t see you in my sight,
I suppose you’re an invisible spirit now,
A phantom that’s a figment of my mind.
My hope is rolling down a steep hill,
Rotting from the inside out,
Why will you remain hidden?
God, I have gotten so desperate.
I can only drift into my head,
Overwhelmed of how much I miss you,
While lost in memories I wish to have with you,
I lost my grins, security, and my own self.
I now sit here in solitude,
Never feeling more alone in my days,
Your butterfly kisses were once sweet,
If only you could flutter my heart again.
