Awkward Butterfly; Modest Moth
A Love Poem
You are an awkward butterfly
Disguised as a modest moth.
Drawn to my bright emanations;
Amidst multiple incarnations.
You began in the larval
Transformed into a marvel.
I beg for you to stay
As I light your way
You have metamorphosed
Path & purpose refocused
You are drawn to my glow
Reflecting hues unseen til now
As your wing tips shine golden
With you, I am emboldened.
Your wings, fanning my flames bright
You, suspended in motionless flight.
My constant companion
I shine in your adoration.
Your gust & my blaze
Through each lunar phase.
We are a consummate couple.
You, my awkward butterfly;
My modest moth.
