Where the butterflies go
I wonder where the butterflies went
The beauty that
first dazzled us
The stirring and fluttering
of our hearts
The color that
fluoresced our moments
The scent of love
we circled
The blossoming
of frank conversations
How did we regress
into this cocoon?
How have we fenced
Out vulnerability and trust?
Guarding against
undisclosed judgment and insults?
Reality nowadays
marred by perception
I seek for a place
of childlike fascination
Oh when shall we
scale this fortress?
I wish to follow
and access
Where the butterflies go
