the buds turned
into flowers
the seconds ticked
and became hours
the new born saw
the butterflies
then it yawned
at the glowing skies
then he grew
proud and strong
in the world
of the wrong
he still had
a dreamy eye
and still knew
the butterfly
the passion grew
and the thoughts were bold
along with that
the world went cold
with every second
in this world
feelings hid
in fists that curled
and every tear
in the day
took birth with fear
then washed away
was once in time
a cardinal page
in the book of life
now kept away
numbness ruled
the sway of mind
indifference now
made him blind
the ears didnt hear
the poetic words
the sound of waves
or the birds that chirped
the eyes didnt see
the butterflies
the yawning baby
or the glowing skies
now all they hear
and all they see
is a mere forbidden
memory
a cough so loud
then a breath taken
life stifled
and death shaken
the body sleeps
with love drunk eyes
death kisses
with sweetened smiles.
