The Butterfly Commentary

Posted on by dahlial620

The last, the very last,

So richly, brightly, dazzlingly yellow.

Perhaps if the sun’s tears would sing against a white stone… Such, such a yellow Is carried lightly ‘way up high.

It went away I’m sure because it wished to kiss the world goodbye.

For seven weeks I’ve lived in here,

Penned up inside this…

Night VS Day

Posted on by dahlial620

Night-
Darkness, Shadowy, Quiet, Calm, Stealthy, Soothing, Tranquil
The moon is covered by a blanket of stars,
This is Night.

Day-
Bright, Sunny, Loud, Busy, Silly, Crazy, Full of Laughter
The sun beams down at us, suddenly hiding behind a cloud,
This is Day.

I am from Houston,
From what feels like the most humid, swampy climate on planet Earth.
I am from long nights under covers, secretly reading.
I am from the JCC, where I can be myself with people who are just like me.

I am from long discussions with…

Rain

Posted on by dahlial620

Crashing, pouring, puddling, dripping, splashing, drizzling
Softly splattering along the Earth, the angels’ tears,
Crystal clear, or so thick it’s impossible to see through,
It’s rain.
Swooshing, pattering, spraying, dribbling, pooling, humidifying,
Dripping from the heavens, nature’s cleanser,
Refreshing the animals and plants in our World,
It’s rain.

The locket; plunge!, Another priceless treasure departed from this plane of existence.

The snake; flash! Killed, her insane master beside himself, raging and crying.

The diadem; split! After being lost to the centuries, a megalomaniac defaced the once awe-inspiring crown.

The scar; Avada Kedavra! The container survives, defeating death…

Sand

Posted on by dahlial620

Falling, rushing, flowing, soft, smooth, silky
Endless miles of it along beaches and oceans,
Varying from white to black, covering the color spectrum;
This is sand to me.

Falling time

Drifting, floating, flying, gritty, rough, sticky
Long hours getting it out of your…
