Butterflies afraid to fly...

[RSK]

LOL... A poem version of an old post!

Butterflies afraid to fly...
Right now,
I'm looking at photos from my childhood...
...I see a handsome 10 year old,
in his Batman Top, and Cape.
In the photo, he stands TALL, and proud.
I SWEAR, I see a spark in his eyes.
His smile is unconditional.
Such an innocent kid.
He is a butterfly, afraid to fly...

...this butterfly is now 22.

He doesn't ask for much.
He never did.
He absorbs from his surroundings
- an intrinsic personality.
Locked emotions and feelings,
that nobody can see.
Limited facial expressions.

Why does time go by so fast?
22 years - JUST LIKE THAT!

Right now,
I am in a strange mood.


I want to take her to the movies.
I want to cook her dinner.
I want us to hold each other.
I want to claim a spot on her body,
and make it mine
(the bridge on her back
between the shoulder blades
and below the neck).
I want to kiss her there.
I want her to blow in my ear.
I want to have wild crazy sex.
I want it often.
I want to get into fights with her
- over petty things.
I want her to wear my shirts.
I want to use her shampoo,
and smell like her.
I want to smack her ass.
I want to kiss her.
I want to meet her family.
I want her to meet mine.
I want to have children with her.
I want to marry her.
I want to grow old with her.
I want to share memories with her.
I want to vacation with her.
I want to love her.
The butterfly is getting ready to take off...

...he is just waiting for 'her' to come into his life,
so they can fly together.

This reminded me of my brother and his girlfriend. They wear eachother's clothes all the time. Even boxers.

I have seen better poems by you, though.

Welcome back.
