Luke Butler Poems

I do not love easy, but with you I love well,
I love you enough to not love you,
to let you spread your wings,
Leave me, and do not get caught within the toils I bring,
...

Oh fall, how one can fall for you,
You are as the sunset, alighting the sky,
Bridging the gap of life and death, for those which must die,
As our tears dribble down our cheek,
...

God.
I can not see you, are you a ghost?
I can not hear you, when I feel I need you the most,
But I love you, don't ask me why,
...

O'er the hills where I stay, there was a city of glass,
Time and time again, I kept on walking passed,
Till one day, a friend did say, what a beautiful place,
I gazed at her, and thought, what a beautiful face,
...

We are all human, or so I have been told,
but do we act human? Not to be too bold,
if I am human, then humans are vile,
If I am inhuman, then I shall smile,
...

It is not easy to save the world,
If killing me would save the world, would you?
If not, you are one of the few,
But you should not, at least I say, let me give you reasons,
...

I cannot list the ways I love you, my valentine,
You are without imperfection, never have you lied,
You were always there for me, never have I tried,
Every year I ask myself will you leave me?
...

Art though art, I ask with thought,
When I read into current art, I think naught,
It does not make me feel, no that would be too hard,
It does not change my world, I hold it in oh so little regard,
...

You look into my eyes,
I cannot guess your guise,
Do you love me, you ask, with your heart in the right place,
But to this question I cannot keep a straight face,
...

Many call you the greatest of seasons, a bringer of life and joy,
Many are fooled, and Fall for this ploy,
Keats and I, we know your guise, veiling yourself in life,
Spring you bring no good, but much strife,
...
