At the valley
Of butterflies
In Rhodes, Greece
I encountered
Nature's love affair
Feisty flowers
Rainbow colors
Flying gorgeously everywhere
Beyond anybody's reach
Fluttering here and there
Once the caterpillars
Magically turned into animated fairies
Gently hugging the trees
With their soft and fragile wings
Their inexplicable performance
Has fully mesmerized
Thousands of travelers
Enjoying the splendors
Of this world
And to be one of them
I am so gratified
Several years ago I got a chance to visit Rhodes, Greece and I was inspired by their Valley Of Butterflies. Here is my poem.

You've turned my stomach into a garden
I have butterflies
Which remind me of your existence
rarae aves May 2020
I think about you.
You smiled at me
when I couldn’t smile at myself.
You saw the light in me
when I saw no light in myself.
Darling, I deeply wish I didn’t look away..   You are the one I let get away.
I don’t know what we could have been,
I’ll often think, if even just for a moment, we should have been, something together.

i am empty, except for the
butterflies that tickle my
stomach. forgot about food:
thinking of you and
everything i will say.

stay.

Butterflies are beautiful
Not as beautiful as you
They are as close as it gets
No living creature (except me) is worth comparing you to
On a card I made my mom for mother's day

these butterflies
are eating me alive;
please disappear,
it isn t spring yet!
why can t you
understand that
not every person
is a flower?
oh because
you, butterflies
are crazy and evil
but i don t
want to be a
heartless person
and i can t cut
your wings either.
no more thinking. i have put the words here as they are in my head. no more faking. this is how i feel

How can I let go of a piece of me
How can I move on from something I’ll miss

Even though the butterflies have withered away
Even though their wings fluttered so hard they crumbled
Dead and decayed
Hollow shells of the love they used to hold
Never to fly again

You’re the only thing left in my heart
And I’m not sure I’ll be able to survive
Without you
Letting go of a childhood crush only crushes me. But it’s the only choice I have.
