The Lost Butterfly Poem by Jay Aguiniga

The Lost Butterfly



In the silhouette of the butterfly
is the dream
The dream, that paralysis’s ones soul
Unwavering gaze, at a twisted world
Everything that exists is powerless
The beauty within your clasp
But a touch that cannot be felt
Will you ever break free from the shadow
that haunts?
Life’s wings flutter, ready to implode,
drawing near
the calling
Fears about to explode
You are here, but not there
Standing alone dazed, shattered
Worn and battered, searching
For the dream to come true
Wondering, if you could become
The butterfly
Would everything
You feel become heartfelt
Could you fly away from
The numbness of darkness?
Could you drift over the horizons
That parallel life?
Change the world that you breathe in
Shield the droplets
That turns your eyes full of red
Reaching
For something that just isn’t there
Nor will there ever be, will you ever be
Unbound to
Drift with the dream of a butterfly
