i've painted all the butterflies black
each of them identical in every way
seven shades of oily black grace
their once gossimar wings
that flapped in the breeze, so silent, so carefree
i've painted all the butterfiles black
no more joy or longing to be beautiful
like they were, envious of every vibrant shade
all alone now, fluttering
in the breeze like a shadow

this one makes me especially sad--this one expresses keen heartache to me.
Well written.

There is society where none intrudes, by the deep sea, and music in its roar.

eve, I know this is in Dark Passions, but I think black is beautiful and even if it is sad, it is a beautiful poem.  Thanks for sharing,  ME

To me it is much sadder to see the crumpled forms of jewel colored butterflies lieing dead on the ground.Beauty can swiftly pass.
