Thirteen

1

Did you know? Come winter,

A Million butterflies fly

For thousands of miles

2

How could you do this

Sit on the couch and watch

TV endlessly

3

What is the thought that

Bites you and you cry

It is a regret my friend

4

There is nothing more

Beautiful and pure, only

The soul feels its footsteps

5

Scars are only seen

But the wounds have not yet healed

I feel the gnawing

6

Carpe diem now

He who taught us with a smile

Fought the good fight too

7

You are the reason

For my heightened sense of hope

It is my sixth sense

8

Any discussion

Is a futile one, without

Food and wine, is all

9

I look around and  

There you are. I give you my

Hand and you don’t drown.

10

Who knows, maybe what

Lies beneath the seas is a

A giant shark-eating squid.

11

Honey I know you

Want me and my heart is now

An expanding verse

12

There are times when love

Is blind and blinding is not

A good idea!

13

I come from darkness

From necessary starkness

An oblivion
