Butterfly Summer

I did not write this. I'm just posting it for a friend who's too shy or unassuming to know how great this is. IMHO.
The title is the only thing that's mine, taken from one of the poem's lines.


Butterfly Summer

Head spinning, cold heart sinking,
tripping on shadows among the unliving,
cursing the fear of what I could not hear,
the sound of you, so distant...so near

Desperation my sole motivation,
painless death a final salvation
Screaming silent into night so black,
not even echoes could find their way back.

Rise up or die on shattered dreams,
what other choices were there to redeem?
On someone's prayer I reached the wall,
straining to hear your own anguished call...

A thousand yesterdays, forever ago,
butterfly summers replaced winter's snow
I was waiting for you the day you came,
waiting to hear you whisper my name.

Knowing I've walked the last lonely mile,
what is the price for every new smile,
every warm tear that caresses my cheek,
each touch of your hand that still leaves me weak?

Don't count it as cost that I can never repay,
Allow my heart to find to its own way.
Just let me be the one that you need...
The last love story you'll ever read.

Anyone: If you have any thoughts about who the author might be, please feel free to guess out loud

I don't know who wrote it,but sub-polar cool is what I call it!You know,this sings so well,it could easily be a song.The "rise up or die" verse could be the chorus.Anyhow,real cool,sub-polar cool!

Moonride*r* are you gonna tell us or leave us hanging?I'm dying to know WHO wrote this poem!

Hi MoonRide*r*, Of course this is one of my favorites poems, the classical one, using the metrics, rhymes, rhythm, and of course the words are wisely used, every single line couldn´t be changed to be better, as it is, is perfect.
The main theme, the everlasting love is so touching in the heart. I fear to try to guess who wrote this jewel, so I rather say Thanks to you and Tesha for sharing it with us, it´s a delight to read it over and over.

I think Moon is the one that's being "shy" now so I suppose its up to me
Yesterday, Sunday 7/29 was 15 months from the day that he and i first met online. After i managed to write that song lyric "In your eyes" i felt a little more confident and most especially i realized that if one has a little bit of language skill, then you can write a couple of rhymes if you just want to do it strongly enough. I wanted to write something special and meaningful for exactly the right man who came into my life at exactly the right time in exactly the right way, not as a man after a woman but as one tender soul to another. I wrote this poem for Moon. I wish that i could write a thousand more. I love you baby. <33

Thank you all so much for your nice comments

@Doug, well one other thing is that he's got a really nice car with a rocker-monster sound system!

@Moon just as sweet as ever, the lyrics of that song are soooo perfect <3<3<3

It's needless to say that this poem is wonderful. Very lyrical, very musical, very strong rhymes.

And you did a very good thing, No one hides the light, and this is so bright. Thank you for posting it.

Hi Tesha, this is a beautiful work, so please don´t ever think that you can´t, you are a great artist, so continue your art creation. Thanks

I was waiting for
you the day you
came,
waiting to hear
you whisper my
name. ‎كنت أنتظر...من أجلك اليوم الذي أأتيت فيه،أنتظر...أن أسمعك تهمس أسمي!! ‏
