Conversion Confusion - this is post Two

 

neat! I love when someone takes a normal idea, and makes a mystery and a thing of beauty out of it. I think this is one of my favorites of yours. It gets better as it goes on I think, the imagery gets clearer. I think, that's because I don't know what you're referring to at the beginning, then when I'm able to place the imagery, it seems more vivid.

Conversion Confusion - THIS IS THE ORIGINAL THREAD STARTING POST.

 

Grey Butterfly

Riding dark against the sky,

Always listening,

For your song long missing.

Seeking,

Your eyes are roaming,

Never speaking,

But your heart is moaning.

 

Grey butterfly,

Who will not sigh,

Whose empty pools called eyes,

Are long since dry.

What you are seeking,

Is behind you now,

In a meadow

Long since plowed.

 

On moonlight you ride,

Running from pain only darkness will hide.

Through the shadowy forests you soar

Looking for that which is no more.

 

Live Grey Butterfly, Live!

Seek not which no longer is,

You have life now,

Cherish it, be Glad,

Do not waste it,

Like the life that you had.

 

Grey Butterfly,

What you seek is behind,

Lost in a cocoon,

Forged on a vine.

 

Grey Butterfly,

This life is your last,

Don’t lose it,

Searching for the Past.

 

Live Grey Butterfly, Live.

 

Grey Butterfly,

Please do not die.

How quaint!

 

The structure of the poem dances! It danced as I saw the butterfly dancing (at least to me). Most pleasing.

 

The structure and diction of the poem come together well in this piece. I don't know if this was intentional, but I loved it.

 

A beautiful work.

It's early, but unfortunately this is the only time I have to view poems...but man, I almost missed out!

Great poem, Nyvark (That IS your name, right? Like I said, it's early) keep up the great works.
