I am now just like my pillow
tear-stained a weeping willow

my words no longer reach you
you have cut me off so true

or were they truth, I meant it true
loving only' to cherish the many you's

I recall the breeze, me holding tight
to your arms in swirling skirts that night

I was yours, your sweet butterfly I find
me, but, now you have grown the wings inside

and left me with my pillow to hold my emptiness
I used to love that feel of satin's in our carress

Now memories are all my pillow only outlines of me
for this butterly will fly again pround and free

Hey,
Welcome!
This is a great poem to start
off with here!
I can tell already that
we are all going to benefit from
having you around!
Well done!

its the fall from the height.

Welcome Raindrops! This is very heartfelt, very gentle. I shall look forward to reading more from you.

Thanks so much. I am hardly a real poet. But a friend told me I would be welcome here.

Am pretty much the amatuer. So thanks again.

Am trying to learn how to use this place. Am not so good at that either. trying best I can.

Thank you so very much

Raindrops,

Welcome to Passions. This was very good writing. And some day you will fly again.

Very nicely presented. I loved the analogy and the imprint on the pillow left behind as you take flight.
