White Butterfly
(To Diana)
A white butterfly flies over these concretes
searching for honey dreams, midst the catacombs,
the dark alleys, bins, dust, wastes, rubbishes…

I open my eyes, see the white flame there,
right before me, burning in a soft whisper.
I open my eyes to see the magnetic piece.
It sits on my putrid finger, suddenly
my body is alive, once more, producing
ambrosia for pure butterflies.

Kushal, I am still as speechless as I was in my response to your email.  I just can't find the words to thank you.  This is an exquisite poem (as always, but this one especially so) and I don't believe I deserve it or the wonderful response you gave to my poem, "Unjust", but I accept your beautiful tributes, graciously, gratefully and I feel very honoured.  I just like to help - especially special people like you with such a beautiful soul.  Some people think it is meddling in their business, but I knew you wouldn't.  This poem, of course, will be saved in my Pip - poddarku folder, along with so many more, but it will be my favourite.

How absolutely beautiful, dear Ku, delicate yet powerful too!

The butterfly is such an ethereal being, it causes awe.

A lovely dedication too to our dear Diana.

Love and hugs.

Kushal,

The spirit within you just flows from your poetry.  I really enjoy how you express yourself.
