analogy, lost love, love hurts,
she was a caterpillar,
i her cocoon
she was the music
i her dance
she was the rose
i her thorns
she was lost among the stars
i showed her the moon
i drifted like a tepid breeze
but she was lost in the storm
she was right
i was not wrong
she lit the fire
i burned like hell

Soul Power
That's what we need
A smell of flowers
Love's the air we breathe
A Natural Being
As a river flows
Down the stream
Into the sea we go
A Soul Heart
That laughs and cries
One that bleeds
Yet for love survives
A Sun Smile
Shining thru your eyes
A new beginning
Beyond this earth and sky
A Soul YOU
Perfect in every way
From a caterpillar
To a butterfly someday
A Soul ME
With natural energy
To dance and play
I need Soul Power today

My Butterfly
Furry little caterpillar in
your coat of black and brown
It's so very hard to tell
if you are up or down
From your lofty branch
you fall onto a leaf below
Only to decide again
that's not the way to go
you are so steadfast
in your flight
I have such sympathy
for your plight
As you inch about to and fro
I wonder why I love you so
Then as the miracle
of life's performed
With golden wings
you are transformed
Your former self left stiffly dried,
no more a furry coat inside
Now as you glide on currents high
I need not wonder ,why I sigh...
Tis you I love, my Butterfly!

adventure, body, devotion, life, love, soulmate, together,
rolling, shaking my heart in red
out of the blue you're soaked and fed
loving hearts that feed on rails
leaping souls that heed, not wails
eaves of heart-shaped leaves overflowing
reign of adoration outlying
couches or bench seats of hearts that drift
over your body levitate, not sift
a heart rolling over like wave
sauntering caterpillar so brave
tis immortal soul that roar and dwell
easterly winds will blow and tell
rollercoaster of hearts made in heaven, not hell

As does the caterpillar make way
For the Butterfly
So too do I make way for
The changes of
Christ in me

daughter,
From playing with Caterpillar to Butterfly
I'd always be on standby
A little rough around the end
You are everyone's best friend
You're daddy's little girl
My precious precious pearl
Your lovely cheerful smile
Makes everyday worthwhile
From singing to ballet
You'll be entertainment's attache
Your soul is so kind
You are the rarest find
People will be with you
From Cape Town to Timbuktu
But i wont be to far away
When love has just betray.

life
The sun comes up early in the morning
Green leaves turn to bathe in the sun
Flower petals open widely and stand proud
As the caterpillar slowly begins to wake.
She begins
Inching along
Absorbing her surroundings
Soaking in what it means to be "me".
She grows
In stature, in knowledge
In love, in understanding, and grace
Painfully she grows through cheers and jeers.
She changes
Not who she is, but
Rather what she is turning into
A young, thriving, vibrant butterfly.
She blossoms
Like a flower's petals
She is colorful, majestic, and strong
Her beauty will captivate and mystify for ages.

Needless of your seduction I have fallen;
Deep in the ocean of love; I awaken.
Do you know this feeling you have arisen?
Coming forth like a caterpillar from its cocoon
Such, is my sweet sorrow story,
Told even by the cowry,
Engendered by love’s mystery;
Played to the gallery of misery
How I wished this was not a phantom
Already, it would have blossom
Never to be obstructed by the storm
Yes! I would cherish it to doom

Just as
The flowers wither
without the sunshine and rain
and without the winter cold
the snowman melts away
Just as
Without more wood
the fire will surely die
and without a cocoon
the caterpillar
will not become a butterfly
Just as
The trees loose their leaves
when summer turns to fall
And ears that turn deaf
cannot hear the birds morning song
Just as
The electric lamp shines no light
when from its power source
it has been unplugged
And without your dear friendship
without your precious love
Alas, oh my darling,
I am like all of the above

love,
I never wanted to be me, in the first place,
to be the root of chaos and disgrace
Like an always left alone phrase,
Like a sea of gray, like an empty space.
But I never thought that you would find me,
In a place no one dared go and see
Where dwells only the filthy,
Where dwells on the unworthy.
You gave me tender and care despite who I was
Like making gold from a molten brass,
Like how you pick a caterpillar from a grass.
I am thankful for God has given me a gift so vast.
You then loved me with passion and pride,
For having a gold like me by your side
Now, this is a short story,
From my long happy memory.

Life is like a
River of Love
Flowing with Experiences,
A Cosmos full of Possibilities
And an Intersection of
Imagination and Illumination.
Life is like a Caterpillar
Until its Metamorphosis
Reaching Adulthood and Beyond.
The Childhood Race has Ended.
Adulthood is Now Here.

appreciation, beauty, emotions, heart, love, rainbow, relationship,
From a caterpillar you are morphed
A beautiful creature you become
The old you is just a corpse
You are now a priceless sum..
You are my new beginning
After the storm you are a silver lining
Bringing color to my pale phase
The kind of good luck I cannot waste..
Short-lived, yes you certainly are
But in your lifetime you transformed
The passing hours you raised the bar
In my soul a secret garden you formed..
I am a reflection of your hue
When your wings failed you have me in lieu
Your charm is an eternal effect to aid
In my heart your beauty never fades..

His words tell her she's not enough,
his love shows her, she likes it rough ~
his touch couldn't come too soon,
she is a caterpillar, in his cocoon.

inspirational,
Does a seed see the sprout
as it changes underground
or a creeping caterpillar
know it will fly above the cloud?
Pregnant clouds mist the sprout
cracking earth into a smile
feeding bees and butterflies
as it blooms and when it ripens
dropping seeds again to sprout
in perennial circle cycle.
Fear keeps love bud in hide
both from tears and sunny smiles
clipping wings of wonder's flight
with foreboding crafty lies.
Love’s riches grow unwatched
from unlocked heart depart
coming in and going out
bruised to tears
or touched to smiles
from the cave of love unlocked
life’s river flows uncharted

appreciation, bible, birth, change, christian, faith, inspirational love,
Above the skies, below the seas,
a universe beyond what’s seen.
A caterpillar learns to fly,
two cells unite to form an “I”.
Uncountable seeds to clothe the earth,
feeding life, expecting birth.
My each day examination,
adjusting to His explanation:
Myself evolving to become
closer to the Master’s plumb.

"new whispers"
with a twist of spoken words
like sunrise its a new affair
with anything and everything
its not to say why or why not
simply we say why and why not
for the time is right and now
with the turn of new whispers
come glances of loving stares
lingering safely in our minds
as seasons mystically transform
from a caterpillar to a butterfly
no regret are these rising words
from one fine day to one great day
sun and moon have guided with light
gracing what was into new whispers

birthday, flower, friend,
Alamandas are green,
Violets are purple,
Holly-hocks are pink,
Mari-golds are yellow,
Sun flowers,yellow too,
all in beautiful colours of nature.
There goes the wasp out to suck up the nectar.
The caterpillar clench on beneath,in its cocoon,
in a bid to mature.
Ranging hovering flies perch on to suck up juice.
The social insects, termites eat up the stems as lunch.
Sly fox walk by with its razor sharp teeth,
bite out the petals.
Billy goat bleats for joy seeing the mari-golds,
as its dinner is sure.
And the badly labelled of all creatures,man,
in awe at the sight of the sumptuous red rose.
He uproots but tends in a garden.
He plucks but dishes out as a show of love.

I am a silly caterpillar
Intoxicated
By the fumes of Grace.
Look my way
My wings are blue
I am a light hearted butterfly sailing on the drafts of love.
I am a laughing baby your serious faces
So funny to me
I am an attitude of gratitude

adventure, child, how i feel, imagery, joy,
Splash in a mirror of glistening mud puddles
Take time to make mud pies, do a caterpillar cuddle
Then stand still, listen well, let the wind tickle your ears
Breathe in deep, then exhale, let go of all your fears
Sing a new song to the moon as it wakes up the night
Wave to the stars glimmering in their brilliant light
Stretch your imagination to delight the child in you
Finger painting in the sand with natures golden hue
Mix your day together with smiles, love and laughter
Be true to your dreams, live a life happy ever after

I am the product of growth and change
I shed past hopes for future gains
Like a caterpillar free of cocoon
Spreading wings flight set for noon
Farewell my fears and welcome fate
Embracing good cheer and fuchsia faith
I am saying goodbye to hate
And welcoming pride love and grace.

cinderella, friendship love, humanity, universe,
Separated by silence the tensions fill the room.
What was once one world has divided into two.
Cinderella lost in Wonderland trying to find her way home.
Peter Pan in Neverland fighting the urge to grow.
Two souls who ran and hid away together in hopes of escaping reality.
One content in idle. The other losing their sanity.
Peter Pan does not see the beauty that lays in disguise.
No need for a looking glass in Neverland when everyone who sees is blind.
Cinderella sits at the crossroads, undecided with what to do.
Waiting on the caterpillar she heard so much about. Maybe he has a clue.

beautiful, butterfly,
True love grows like a caterpillar becoming a butterfly.
Starting off slow inching as it goes by.
Soon your wrapped up in love
Like a caccoon patiently waiting undisturbed.
Getting ready to spread new wings
Each pattern created perfectly.
You together make one whole complete
While flying to the rhythm of eachothers heart beat.

time,
Flowing waters, seeping threw creaks
Always heading towards a destination...
My destination?
God is my deatiny
I flow towards him as gravity guides me...
Faith as transparent as water, sustains my being.
Yet why am i lost?
Lost in a desert...
Where has my river gone to?
No trees for shade...
No breeze of comfort.
Scorched and burnt, tired and weak, lost am i.
Knowledge of his love is the only compass which ushers me.
Though i am lost, hungry and inneed,
I surrender myself unto his will,
For i knw my suffering is with purpose.
Like a caterpillar in mourning, i will die and be reborn..
New, Strong, Beautiful and once again Alive.
