My Butterfly Compass

Is flickering pixelated images of you.

My Butterfly Compass.
Is moist. Dripping lizard-like corals of saliva for you.

My Butterfly Compass.
Is impregnated. Virally infected with diagrams of you.

My Butterfly Compass.
Needs correction. Do you have my boyhood tweezers? My finger-puppet screwdriver? Do you?

My Butterfly Compass.
Is brittle now, dreamlike, resembling a tombstone inscription.

My Butterfly Compass.
Is cocooned. With you.

My Butterfly Compass.
Is old now, greying, dying, decaying to powder.

My Butterfly Compass.
Ceased functioning.
But when you breathe, it shimmers.
When you breathe, it shimmers.
You breathe, it shimmers.
Breathe, it shimmers.
It shimmers.
Shimmers.

My Butterfly Compass.

My brain is divided into three compartments. The most secure area stores the memory of your face. Above all things, I keep that safe. A room with a sliding door Holds all the cute things you say.

No more No more and no more to be heard The sound of your voice echoing , Your muffled laughter telling secrets undisclosed Yet how deep Beneath still dark waters They are truth They are words...

How I Feel

And how do you feel now. Do I fill your mind every minute Still. Do you seek out a face in the crowd the same.

Reflections of Passion

Laying in fields. The grass swaying to your heartbeat. Pushing the world back. Using your own personal shield. Darling I can feel you here. This was our escape.

Take Me Back

Take my hand. Take me back to our magical land. Take my hand. Take me back to the softest sand. I miss being there. With nothing to wear. Where sadness is rare. And love is our mayor.

Storm Bird

Have you ever been a storm bird. A high flyer, too high to catch. A low blower, A razer to the ground. I have been a storm bird. Delight in my lightning Cower at my thunder.
