Butterfly : the trapped cocoon
I siffocate myself and almost swoon
trapped within -the wretched cocoon !
This salivating hope of silky dream
this desire or growing dream
and sticky froth or cementing seal
has encaged me whole and within !
I must decide now -even if late
discriminate here,- sharp and smart
try to come out of en-trapped state
to free finally my soul and heart
Trapped in cocoon the butterfly cry
for cerulean sky and wants to fly.
