Stars and Butterflies

by Brookie

Do you remember when time ended?
We swore on every falling star that we
would find a way to make it stop;
just for an instant, but we missed it.

We stumbled across hearts that flowed
like the rivers of love on the moon;
and as we fell do you remember screaming
"Forever is not enough, just one more eternity"

That's when the butterfly landed on your lips.

...

Its been years now and nature tends to our souls,
singing its eternal lullabies to keep us at peace
but the butterflies at night still try to kiss their stars
Flying hopelessly as they shoot from the sky one by one.
