Black Butterfly

Black butterflies suddenly appear. Beating the wings in the air. I am dreaming, not aware. Shadows darkens the atmosphere. Bad dream awakens me. Beating sounds encircle me I couldn’t help but fear. Black butterflies fly in the air. In their mouth, holding my soul. Fly away from the windowsill. Dull and lonely, I feel. Darkness, emptiness, I could not resist. Like walking alone in black forest. Black butterflies took away my spirit. There is only nothing left.

Hello, SKAT, thanks for your warm greeting. I am so delighted to have a new poetry soup friend like you. Actually, my native language is not English, and also I am just a beginner, still trying to learn writing English poetry. Hope we can exchange our thoughts more in the future, thank you!!
