Kissing Butterfly

By Maria Lagdameo
I am here breathing still, pinning;
Reminisce of a must have been.
I saw you often only in my dreams,
Your supple lips kissing me;
…whispering elegy

We had a love, that we never get to say;
Afraid, held back, forbidden in this world,
Where hearts were used to barter for gains,
With regret, eyes crying bloody tears;
…cascading grief

My breaking heart is asking for death;
Counting falling sand till time comes,
When I could be, where you are,
Patiently, inside a coffin, waiting;
…wings trapped

Soon, my cocoon would break the embrace;
To free my soul and fly home for a lifetime,
Where your wind is blowing stale sigh,
And watching me, breaking free;
…to a love
