My Kind Of Beautiful... Poem by RK

...Then once I saw
From your eyes
Flew a blinded
Butterfly
Blithely went it
Through the valleys
Settling to my
Lonesome sky...

Some faded petals
Were my offerings
My garden had
No rose to keep
It wreathed an iris
In my diaries
Placed a dew
On my tulips...

For many moons
It sought the dawn
Its lively wings
Soon turned too bleak
I heard my autumn
Chorus fading
Into cold of
Wintry shrieks...

Though once a now
Till every then
Some wandering doves
Would soar afar
Let’s cross them by
With worlds aside
Here I am still
For there you are...

And how I wished
To touch your shores
Swaying to where
The ocean roared
Yet rather would I
Remain silent
This moment mine
Is ever yours…

For now your arms
Are open wide
Breathe in a smile
For wind to steal
I’d catch it still
From once a dream
For you know now
What was my real...

And flew that blinded
Butterfly
From beneath a
Lonesome sky
Blithely went it
Through the valleys
Quietly setteled
To your eyes...


Dedication:
From the blessing of a love
That is not bound to whys
Through the remnant of a happiness
That makes no sound to lips
Until the memory of a peace
That is not found to freedom...

To my beautiful...
