Hey - I am sorry for not posting replies to alot of the poetry here, my computer is slow and inadequate. I promise to change this situation, it is not me that pays the phone bill after all.
I would like your advice --- is this poem finished ?

The Butterfly :

The blood from my arm must have created it,
the butterfly that darted and sank
infront of me on the stairs.
I could almost see the
blood
on it's wings -
a sign -
I did not want to break it,
soil it,
hurt it.
It's fragility frightened me,
a blundering, uncomfortable, mutilated fool.
It's wings held the whole world,
in their tiny globes of
creme and yellow and blue.
It's wings held the whole world,
and all my teachings were
emptiness
when compared to this.
And so impure,
because they taught me to doubt
everything
and anyone
and God.
They had installed the hate in me,
and now my butterfly had taken it away
in it's world of other's troubles.

*** Be honest,

Love, Peace and Emptiness...Q xxx

***Queeny,
This is amazing.
So beautiful, and with a huge sting in it's tail.
Why didn't you share your talent with me sooner?!  
I think it is perfect, finished to me...

All my love,
