The Butterfly

by Lovepoems

November 2, 2017

The butterfly with black wings,

black body and black eyes.

The butterfly comes at your window at midnight.

The butterfly made a fluttered sound.

Then you turn your head from the table.

You have met once in a lifetime partner.

He's smiling big and wonderfully

That he cares about you in the house, not outside freezing.

The butterfly with black wings,

black body and black eyes.

I wanted to add "had" instead of "with" in the starting and ending of the poem. Thebutterfly was not a bird peeking at your window. It looked at you with a smile and had empathy. If it were a bird, it might have made noise and you would have thrown books at the window to shoo the bird away. Instead of shooing the butterfly, you saw and admired its beauty.
