BUTTERFLIES


Her mouth whispering in nearly silent accompaniment
Her footsteps can be traced to a musical merriment
Where they all create a dulcet symphony
Sanity is not a choice for her as they make rhythm of her poetry
Among all, he strums gently before he croons a song
She sees those eyes outshining the throng
Love-sick, as luck would have it, she can’t hold this racing feel
She resigns to the restlessness that will follow the fortune’s wheel
How profoundly little she knows about how he feels
Will Venus get him to fall head over heels
Like a wordsmith she could even charm her way out of a bullet so far
Speechless though now, she stares at the night sky looking for a shooting star
She has never paid court to anyone but him
Love-struck follow no protocol but whim
His melodies brighten her life aspiring trust eyes
Guilty as charged he gave her butterflies
