“token Of Life” Poem by Munia Khan

I hear a butterfly singing
when you’re the brightest band of colours
on those fluttering forewings
to send love closer to me
with a pulsing promise;
as you become its heart
beating through those miniscule veins
to make my wish lurching side to side
like leaves whirling in a strong wind.

I gently touch the delicacy
And the evasive hind wings
dance my fear away
leaving the soft dusting on my fingers
as a token of life
from you….
