The Flower Will Bloom

the flower will bloom

and along lands the butterfly.

a bond so pure. oh, how it

shows the magic of nature.

the butterfly hatches from

their snug cocoon, in search

of their flower, to cling to for life.

how beautiful new love is,

such a youthful thing.

the woman will sprout her feelings

from her heart.

feelings that cause the ground to shake,

and water to rain from her eyes.

feelings to her lady friend

sitting parallel on the bus.

what a freak of nature, they say.

how disgusting it is to fall in love.

she was merely a girl

she wanted to feel it.

the flower sprouts love,

for the butterfly to drink.

new love is so beautiful,

it truly is so young, and pure.

but this girl wont have her butterfly.

for the earth has torn her petals.

and damned her to loneliness.

simply because she wants another.

another lady to drink her affections.
