Wayne Guy Butterfield Poems

1.

She looked into his eyes, hurting
Her lips still pursed, flirting

She took a step forward, halted
...

When night's veil slowly lifts
And moonlight shines through the mist

Deep in the stillness of Irissed pools
...

It's not difficult to live with
deceit and delusion
Want to believe and you will
...

So it was just lies
The need to go to war
Intentionally created
Secretly debated
...

What if nations
what if people
what if you and I
...

(please click Biography above for
two photos that go with the poem
......it takes a few seconds.....) :)
...

As I grew up I was told
That Jesus watches over me
That freedom trumps equality
That success is measured materially

The Best Poem Of Wayne Guy Butterfield

Gone

She looked into his eyes, hurting
Her lips still pursed, flirting

She took a step forward, halted
Her mouth tried for words, faltered

The line of his jaw, resisting
The glint in his eye, insisting

Her face froze for a moment, cold
She looked down again, old

He spoke softly then, rhythmic
His words seemed to help, sympathetic

She looked up again, searching
Her mind tried to work, lurching

Her arms reached for him, hoping
She almost braved a smile, coping

The quick touch of his hand, drifting
The frame of his body, twisting

He began to move away, betraying
His steps down the stairs, fading

Her heart seemed to stop, broken
She broke into sobs, choking

After so many nights, unending
After so much hope, unbending

There was nothing to show
There was nowhere to go

(dedicated to Zhang Ziyi and 2046)
