Butterfly Caught

Deep seeded paranoia,
heavy in my heart it roots
Endless thoughts
breaking in the soil of my brain,
Perilous beauty in words
fermenting in my soul,
Burden filled tears
wilt from my lashes,
Oh salt laden, heart-wrending rain

Like a butterfly caught,
my heart so heavy in my chest
skips like the stone on the sea,
flutters like the moth who can't break free,
with no wind beneath its wings
never will i fly on earth's soft breeze

Sunny holes of light
break through my lashes,
Honey kisses,
like honeysuckle
so sweet
drip from your lips,
not meant to tranquilize
but my heart, does paralyze
