You Are My Butterfly
by Tanja Cilia

You Are……… My Butterfly

You brought colour to my life….

You helped me to select the sweet from the bitter

And savour the moment.

You showed me how to take things lightly

You helped me soar above

My worries.

You helped me spread my wings

And notice the flowers.

You are my butterfly, and I love you.

You showed me it’s true that if

You chase a butterfly, away he flies;

But if you sit still, he brushes your cheek

With his wings and changes the

Monochrome vistas of grey

Into a suffusion of colour.

Never were poppies so crimson

Or daffodils so yellow

As now.

Green apples and honey

Mint and liquorice and ginger, and

Stamens of the honeysuckle

Were never so real.

You are my butterfly.

Diving into the cool water

Feeling the warmth of a puppy

Touching an empty cocoon

Listening to the rain

Seeing the sun set

Hearing the rustle of leaves

Were never so aesthetic and sensual

As they has become since I

Met you.

For you are

My Butterfly.

You are my inspiration, the love of

My Life.

My Butterfly.

I Know Not Why
by Morris Rosenfeld

I lift mine eyes against the sky,
The clouds are weeping, so am I;
I lift mine eyes again on high,
The sun is smiling, so am I.
Why do I smile? Why do I weep?
I do not know; it lies too deep.

I hear the winds of autumn sigh,
They break my heart, they make me cry;
I hear the birds of lovely spring,
My hopes revive, I help them sing.
Why do I sing? Why do I cry?
It lies so deep, I know not why.
