BUTTERFLY

Blue butterfly
Even if you were a brown bee you would still be beautiful
As beautiful a sunrise or the ember golden sunset
As lovely as the lake breeze sweeping my beloved’s skin
Wafting the fragrance of her perfume into my nostrils
When we sit on the bare rocks at the shores of Lolwe
Not minding their hardness against our bottoms
Just enjoying the seeping warmth rising and sinking into our flesh
Like the passion growing in my pulse that can evidently be seen and touch by my butterfly
In the sight of the envious hippopotamus sinking every five minutes finding us on the same spot
Mindless of time in childish simple love

Butterfly
Even if you were a bee
You would still inspire me to live a love for love’s sake
I would still love your color
Your shape and the way you dart in the wind
You would still be special if you give honey just as you inspire art
When you sting, I guess I would fear the same way I fear the itch of caterpillar’s fur

Butterfly
Even if you were a bee
You would still inspire me to work late into the night
Looking into your eyes for inspiration
Living to love another day
Believing tomorrow would be a better day
A chance to walk out to meet you in the wind
Write another song to the sun, lake, winds, and the one who is beyond all

MEANING

If you sing songs And your songs are sung Would they have a meaning? If you danced And your dances are danced Would they have a meaning?

Would it have a meaning if you were not remembered?

HEART OUT

You are the one I think of when I am blank When I am happy you are the one I call I think of you when I am sad I pour it all on you And I feel it is all right I call you when I reach a problem's dead end Together we find a way to move to the other side of the wall With you I feel like the lake Galilee When Jesus was calming the storm You are my rain maker You make me feel hope You are the cloud that causes my worst storms When I know that I am the reason you are shedding tears I feel so comfortable beside you I can sing off key But it is all right because I wont be judged I can talk and talk Be sure that I will be heard I can keep the quiet of a grave And not be scared that it will be heard wrong Yes I can be headstrong Then we will fight and make peace I can be fearful when you are scared And we will curdle together I can hope when you have lost hope And you can hope when I have lost mine For that is how we become better You are beautiful to my eyes and ...

OVERSTAYED VISIT

You don't need me So I thank you for the good you have done I say it in silence That way you will not sense the silent good bye It hurts me that our business in your face is done But I will remember we were brothers I will pray for you For my prayer is that you fly high and steady in the strong winds I will not forget that you helped me And the much I am or will be will acknowledge you But tonight I will pack what I can And leave your house brother Not groaning For all of us are guests in each others lives In my case I must have overstayed my visit I hope love never grows old I will find peace when it thrives again But now It is obviously used.
