Butterfly

Your life
is a sweet butterfly.
Its wings are beating
feverishly
suspending aloft.
Death
is the remedy for our cancer.
And our cancer is our lives.
Misery sinks into us
and fills us with cold.
But my warmth will give you life.
I will be there for you
in the next world
and hold you in my arms.
Forever I am yours.
But why
must death feel so soothing?
Why must death feel so warm?
So near how I felt
when last my lover held me.
Sorrow seeps into us
like a cooling breeze.
Love renders your wings still.
I will wait on the other side
until you are with me again.
I will wait for you.
I will wait for you,
my fearful love.
