Flutter To Freedom

by Jessica   Mar 26, 2007


Running a soft finger over tearstained cheeks
Smiling with tenderness into her pain filled eyes
Silently meeting his delicate gaze, love she seeks
Ruby lips tremble slightly; she hates goodbyes..

Pleading to him mutely as he touches her moist lips
Forcing despairing eyes to remain connected with his
Forlornly reaching for him; tracing a face with fingertips
Relentless tears fall from their basin; what agony this is..

Twirling her once coveted auburn hair; hot tears appear
Kissing her crimson colored lips lightly; a smile he bestows
Regretfully freeing a butterfly; whispering I will always be near
Leaving her to flutter to freedom, only one glossy wing glows..

    This is a very beautiful poem. I love the imagery in it. The flow was wonderful also and as I read it I could actually see it in my mind. I could picture the words being read soflty in almost a whispery voice. I have nothing but good things to say about this poem. you are a very talented poet. Keep up the excellent work. I am adding this to my favorite poem list.

    This is a beautiful poem, although I'm not sure I totally understand the last line. anyway, the writing and imagery was amazing! I loved the line about how her auburn hair was once coveted - the contrast between what was important to her in the moment of the poem and what is on a regular basis (for most of the world) is really vivid. def. 5/5!
