Elusive

Day Butterfly
She flutters by from one idea to another
Fickle
Impatient
Hopping steps
Hopping thoughts
Never certain
She doesn’t care
Because
Whatever
Afterall
Life is only a play
A role play
A funny play
Night Butterfly
She flutters by
One lover to another
Unfaithful
Unperfect
She is looking for her mirror
She is looking for her reflection
She bonds but never loosens up
She bonds but never opens up
What’s the point
in the end
Life is only a play
A role play
A funny play
Day Butterfly
She always moves
Exhausted
Exhausting
With a smile
With a song
Life is beautiful
After all
Beauty as the Sun
Beauty as a breeze
Night Butterfly
She can’t stay in place
She can’t keep her ideas
Fleeting
Gruelling
With a though
With a lesson
Life is beautiful
After all
Beauty as the Moon
Beauty as a feast
Day Butterfly
She chitchats to someone
For someone
The wrong way
No way
One way
Shaking the air
in the middle with more wind
Impossible to stop
Impossible to breathe
Night Butterfly
She chitchats to herself
For herself
Endlessly
Constantly
Helplessly
It always moves inside
Impossible to stop
Impossible to breathe
And yet
And yet
She is pierced by the air
from the inside out
Spreading her ideas
Spreading her love
And yet
And yet
the air talks to her
From ovations to prayers
For the sake of words and thoughts
And yet
And yet
She’s got nerves
Under her smiley face
Day Butterfly
Night Butterfly
Ephemeral and no tomorrow
Living through the moment
flying to her ideas
her ideas flying after her
Breathless
She is nowhere to be seeked
nowhere to be found
She has nowhere to seek
nowhere to find
Then she bonds
No string attached
No string confided
On the string of her thought
The tightrope talker flutters by her heart
where does she run
wher does she aim
she won’t say
Free as a bird
what a happy mess
Day Butterfly
Night Butterfly
She happily doesn’t care
Because
Whatever
Afterall
Life is only a play
A role play
A funny play
