Butterfly



Haven`t seen you for a long,long time
got imprisoned by chains,pills and pride
How I wish to be by your side
and to see the sky together
gather paints of death and life
the dusky clouds with wintry smiles lie deep,
silent,smooth as they glide through the
canvas of priests,prayers,pride
pleae,please don`t you cry
your tears coming to baptize my sinning sight
Haven`t seen you for a long,long time
butterflies lie dead,unmoved by my whiskey
wet brides;16,17 too green to glide,too
inflammable to fly
Haven`t seen you for a long,long time
Sky`s weeping from day night
reminds me of you,paradise
you`re my eden;you`re my paradise
I see the Universe concealed in your eyes
The breasts of Eternity in You reside!
