Social Butterfly

She stands five feet tall with the wings of an angel

Hiding behind her horns and fangs, is a halo

With eyes of smooth obsidian,

And a mind like black ice,

She's a combination more dangerous than any lover's tryst.

Social Butterfly,

You'll steal my soul away.

Even prayers from above,

Sent by denizens from below,

Won't save me from your chaos,

As its entrancing sound grows.

The dichotomy of your love keeps reeling me back,

But the monotony of our dance is what put the song off track.

Social Butterfly,

You'll eventually break my heart.

You're a mirage of principality.

With only two reigning above in your cosmic sexuality,

As we indulge in sins meant for the mortal flesh,

Our breathing gains weight with each secret cares.

Social Butterfly,

You're no where to be found.

No sooner did we end did your halo disappear,

And in its place your horns grew,

Under the weight of your fears.

With a demonic roar, you beat  your feathered wings,

And disappeared into the sky,

A realm unseen.

Social Butterfly,

All memories fade with time,

But I'll cherish the feather always,

When your heart aligned with mine.

[Coyote Poetry]

Those social butterfly who touch our life and run. I like the tale in the poem. Angel can lose their wings. What is left? I like the positive ending. Good memories we can hold forever. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

I agree with Coyote, it always seems like is the social butterfly's we know who twist and turn our hearts the most. Beautiful piece of work
