Little things lately
remind me of you.
I kneel in my heart
eyes filled in dew.
Words can’t say
what I do mean,
You were, you are
the lavender within
Lavender memories
of my vagabond soul,
hum and whisper of
moments you stole.
Moments have wings,
but they are frayed.
That smile, that dimple,
hell, they have stayed!
Stay! Stay in me!
Don’t care if it’s wrong,
I will wrap you tight
in my lavender song.

Ponce Denis Écouchard Lebrun, the French poet, once said, 'flowers are tethered butterflies and butterflies are flying flowers'. I say, flowers are sand-stuck full-rigged soul-ships; butterflies are their audacity whom they entrust with aromatic sails of their core to float across seven seas and seven lands.

Memories have wings. And wings have memories.
Unsurprisingly therefore, memories of you translocate me to my burning insanity. And battered wings bring me back to my reality where everything is insanely cold without you.

To fly away from what hurts and towards what you care for, I give you wings.
The wings will let you soar in joy and escape pain, for you will encounter both. When you flutter these wings in the symphony of your heart beats, you will hear music of the soul; and when the wind loses its mind and turns into a raging storm, these wings will bring you back home. On other occasions that border on lunacy, your wings will let you afford an impulsive leap or two from the edge and shield you from the rain that will fall from grey clouds or the eyes. With you, your wings will tear and rupture but also luminesce and grow. They will become you as you become them. Look close, they are weaved in the same fiber as are you. So put them on and go, fly!
I wish you wings!

Sweet freedom whispered in my ear
you’re a butterfly
and butterflies are free to fly
Fly away, high away, bye bye
-Sir Elton John, Someone saved my life tonight
Butterflies come, butterflies go. Some perch on the body, few flicker on the mind. Most bring smiles, some take it away. Some share the sadness, others whisper. All fly away but few remain. Those that remain, remain forever. Etched. Deep. Within. In the cocoon of a teardrop that knows not how to evaporate from arras of the soul.
