flight of the butterfly, rising free
Silent breezes from a
quiet heart flow
Birds’ pleasant chatter
fills the restless air
To reach into the dark realms
And pull out the eternal wisdom
To step into the memories
Of the ancient builders of time
Through the wall she hears the scream
The heights of pain
Felt in her heart
As she wishes she were there
Deep craving
For the feel of rope
Insatiable longing
For the drowning of hope
More than pain
Exquisite shades of gray
Overwhelmed in the shame
Lost in this new kind of hell
Flooding back
Memories of that moment
When all went black
Just after the flash of pure white
Wondering
Would he take her higher this night?
Screaming in silence
Choke back the tear
Another scream
Through the wall
Fading now
He approaches
