Butterfly souls

Floating in amber

Collectors editions

Held in the heart

Of a teardrop

Waiting to fall

Cameo thoughts

Passing through

Opalescent reflections

Objects of desire

Bartered in epitaph

Prisoners of obsession

Captured in flight

Sun tipped wings

Clipped in progress

Light filtered

Through flickered

Sterile beating

In the heart of beauty

Lies sadness

Uncorked specimens

Idly broken in part

To remedy

An illusion

Destiny by design

Love is lost

In the collection

Spirits fly

Freely

By admission

Disavowal

Will only

Seal their fate.
