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.
