Butterflies (Free verse) by Caducus
blew the dust from her flesh.
Kissed the lattice of her denier.
Rolled them slowly down with lips,
loneliness and its shadow as one.
From grainy pixels
to real warmth,
the longing now dying
like greenwich mean time
and mocking equators.
Her exposure quakes my hungering fingers,
which once held quills that wrote of love,
and now hold the very essance of it.
Writing my desire in clear ink,
waxing us as we move in fusion,
real touch born
from cadavers of dreams.
I say unto her
'we are here my love'
Hands click through glass mitten,
telling us the earth is turning
carving the valley through our bed
as star spangled banners
move westward in the english wind,
like lovers in a hotel duvet
saying goodbye in glances
to meet again
not as moths in borrowed silk
but as butterflies
in seasons of the afterlife.
