This Mo’FO
This morpho came to me all pretty and charismatic,
his energy on ten, life in 3D he was,
colors of ocean blue and the, SWAG!
I just knew he’d be the best I ever had,
the love I never knew.
I couldn’t help but be mesmerized by the way he glided past my face,
the way he traveled through time and space just to be near me,
to speak to me,
to see me
Yes, little ole me.
sHe saw.she felt.she knew.
sHe did not question.she did not doubt.
She just knew who and what I was
she saw through.
Fourteen months we talked, visited, and walked.
Fourteen months we drank, shared, and became.
Became something to each other.
We spent the spring and summers basking in each other’s rays,
season after season feeding on each other’s emotions,
dancing through each other’s trauma.
Seasons of laughing and fighting,crying and hurting.
Seasons of stalemates and change.
Seasons of cold despair and saddened delays.
Seasons of falling apart and laying dormant in each other’s skin.
Oh, I knew he would be the death of me.
I knew she was too good to be true.
Who could love someone like little ole me?
Ahh, but she did,’cause he would not leave,she would not go.
He cuddled beside me, wrapped his long bright blues around me, with melodies of voices she breathed into me, until one day, he disappeared.
It was the longest night underneath her moon. So, tired!
So, mad I grew,like flames in the morning light. I was burning.
How dare I let something take from me. How dare I defy my own gravity. So, no more!
Heavy I may be, overflow I shall do.
From this point forward,I will leap back to me even without you.
My soul will be whole,my soul will DARE. I stretched my arms to take my first leap.
Instead of falling, I flew.
I saw bright blue ocean wings stretch from my body, and I flew.
I saw myself glide so smooth that space nor time could hold me.
I heard symphonies of voices talking to me, holding me, guiding me and I flew.
This MORPHO!He knew.
This morpho tricked me.
Tricked me into thinking I was someone else,had me believing in love.
She did not disappear.
She fooled me into loving, loving all parts of me.
This morpho divided us into two
So, I could see ME.
This morpho fed on my soul while I slept,
slowly merging back into WE
back into one, back into thee.
This morpho embodied me, sustained me while transforming me.
Yeah, He was smooth with it.
Her confidence mesmerized, and her love protected.
And just like that
This MORPHO
I will forever remember
for these MORPHO never Lied
This MORPHO
I will forever love
For these, MORPHO!
turned me into a Morpho butterfly.
