A Butterfly Chase Poem by Augustus Quaicoe

A BUTTERFLY CHASE
by Augustus Quaicoe

I met her one late night
As if predestined, we almost walked into each other
Stupefied! I stared and admired her awesome beauty, as she waved coyly
It was love at first sight
Standing right, in front of me, was my dream girl, my goodness!

Dark and lovely, perfect beauty, designed from above
Her curves, pretty shape and her attractive peacock eyes
Could I be in wonderland? someone wake me!
Words won't be able to describe her

I dance with her, on the mountain tops, to the tunes of violin, and piano and frenzy fontomfrom drums into the dark night
I wish this moment, never cease
Oh, how sweet is the taste of a forbidden fruit
In the darkest of the silent night, she disappears!
I now chase and desperately search a fairy!
Or could she be a goddess?
Then… no need to chase, because I'm Adonis


I chase a butterfly, dancing rhythmically to swan song on the meadows
On the hilltops and nature's gardens
Save me mother nature, for I am lost in wonderland, trying to catch a butterfly!
Ordomankoma, please bring me back home!
For I am exhausted and lost, daring to catch a butterfly!


Everything in a man's life are but butterflies
Beauty to behold, fleeting in a flash
Sit quietly and watch them, settle softly on your shoulders
The mystery of longing.
