I kneel before you, butterfly
With your beauty, I am awed
I dare not look upon your face
I am not worthy, I am flawed

You are perfect, in your symmetry
Your wings, are a span of glory
I am nothing, compared to you
Just a writer, with another story

Allow me to glow, in your iridescence
Let me float, on the wisp of a breeze
Carry me away to your distant lands
Over mountains, meadows and trees

I will take in all the wonders
That lie below the clouded skies
In the valleys, dales and canyons
Let me see them, through your eyes

You kneel before me, butterfly
Yes, to take me away with you
Letting me fly, upon your wings
It’s really all I ever wanted to do

Saw her standing on the corner

Knew he was in for a treat

Took her to his hotel room

This girl, he met on the street

Things got a bit too crazy

He lost control of the scene

She blocked his exit, no way out

The look on her face, quite serene

Plotting his next move, his escape

He walked to where she sat

Handed her a hundred dollar bill

And that was the end of that

How sad, the pile of sugar cane
That fell like drops of heavy rain
Blocks of white, what a sight!
Here we go again!

It happens every time, I fear
They never make it to my cup
I open up the sugar bowl
Miss, then have to tidy up

I keep an endless supply
I really don’t know why
I’m diabetic, but quite ascetic
Of this, I can’t deny

I hope one day, dear Stevia
You’ll come in my favorite shape
But until then, I surrender to
The sugar cube, my great escape

The last of the leaves fall

Like a swirling tornado, they fly

How I long to be one of them

The skies speak in whispered tones

The ocean, like choral bells, creates

Melodic sounds, a haunting hush,

Lulling you, into peaceful slumber

As waters calm, and tides slow

You escape, into a heavenly bliss
