You Call Butterflies

You call butterflies 
 with a dead flower bouquet, 
 dark macabre sweetness; 
 
Hypnotic color,
steel frozen inside petals 
bulletproof blossom;

An inspiration; 
Soothing calm wafts in the air
pulling others up;

I can’t close my eyes 
to this world you have opened;
You call butterflies; 

Holding me with you always, 
Honey, I’m lost without you.
