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.
