In the Language of Butterflies and sun kisses

By Miztaken4beauty

Sun shines on the
-Darkest-
of places.
licking away the touch
of moonlight and secrets,
That could condemn the soul
or caress the spirit.
And when the light,
kisses the scars
my soul is forced to bear,
I close my eyes,
feel the wind,
as it slides
across my skin,
rustling through my hair.
And for once,
My mask is gone,
A mask of strength
and secruity,
That the weakest
of hearts hide behind,
because I want to let you see,
an omission of love.
And I show you the truth,
:Written:
In a long forgotten language,
That life is like a butterfly,
But long before I could soar,
You ripped away my wings.
So now I'm carried,
::on a whisper::
A promise of sweeter
Things
To come.

    This read softly as if whispered for me. Excellent visuals throughout those last few lines hint at a promise unfulfilled. I have broken these promises with myself many times and have felt their sting from outside sources as well. Honest and interesting, nicely done.

    Thanks. I'm trying to unbind myself from strict rhyming. I think it makes the emotion a more tangible thing.

    Beautifully worded and haunting imagery. Butterflies are such delicate creatures; just one tainted touch can ruin life. Nice write.
