Poem 1

Nocturnal butterfly

by Theo M.

It was all a bad dream

I say as I wake up alone

How lucky I am

To have everything 

Yet nothing of my own

Nowhere to call home

I run around the corners of my mind

Hoping  hidden fragments to find 

Yet the only lingering 

Is the part of me that was once you

That feels your heart and knows you're scared too

Would I love you if you weren't forbidden? 

Oh the apple of my eye of Eden

Don't come back too soon

I might start loving you 

In the morning

And call you a bad dream in noon

Then at night I break out of my cocoon
