Poem

A butterfly chase

I met her one late night
As if predestined,we almost walk into each other.
Stupefied ,I stared and admired her awesome beauty as she waved coyly.
It was love at first sight.
Standing right in front of me was my dream girl ,my goodness!

Dark and lovely , perfect beauty designed from above.
Her curves ,pretty shape and her attractive peacock eyes.

Could I be in dreamland, someone wake me .
Words won't be enough to describe her.

I dance with her on the mountain tops to the tunes of timbrels and cymbals and frenzy fontomfrom drums into the dark night.
I wish this moment never cease.
Oh, how sweet is the taste of a forbidden fruit.
In the darkest of the silent night,she disappears!

I now chase and desperately search a fairy.
Or could she be a mermaid or a goddess.
Then, no need to chase because I'm Adonis.
I chase a butterfly, dancing rhythmically to swan song on the meadows.

On the hilltops and nature's gardens .
Save me mother nature, I am lost in wonderland trying to catch a butterfly!
Ordomankoma ,please bring me back home.

For I am exhausted and lost daring to catch a butterfly!

Everything a man desires after , are like butterflies,

The more you chase ,the more it runs from you.

Money, women and passions are butterflies.

Chasing and rushing and being busy in nothingness.
Frustrated over nothing.

Sit quietly on the grass and observe them come to sit on your shoulders .
The mystery of longing.
