Bitter Blokes (55)




To those

I surely shouldn’t have met.


To those

Who didn’t,

But did.


To those

Who don’t,

But do.


I guess...


You some time think of me.
Hardly ever think about me.
But if you ever did,

Or do

I’m sure
A butterfly
Flies-

Or flew
From your stomach and
Luckily
From your sweet heart...

Does it say that sometimes we have more of an immediate effect on someone? And it haunts them a little?

1. I don't know WHAT it says.
Or DO I?

2. I understood.
But did not.

3. I GOT it.
But I don't GET it.

4. And the butterflies are flying everywhere...free again? Or NOT!

5. CHARMING "55", Dulce, you have perfected the poet's way of cloaking your thoughts in mystery from us mere mortals.

Brian Miller said...

Love it...even if they dont admit it, we still cross their minds atleast...Just hate when its not the person that you want to miss you lol

Butterflies are the best part of this poem. They express the inexpressible which is known by only the one who has had it.

I like to listen to those butterfly moments.

Joy always,
Susan

Ay yo te envidio el calorcito..no me gusta el frío, estoy en Salou y esta mañana nevaba, no es común, había pasado en el 2001, yo estoy aquí desde el 2002, conoci la nieve por primera vez el año pasado en Andorra, me quedo con las playas y el sol.
Y también Te quiero.
Besos:)

I have met a few people that made me want to turn back the hands of time and remove the meeting. But that can't happen.

A very nice 55, Dulce. I'm always a bit envious of someone who can say something, and so beautifully, in 55 words, 'cause I sure as heck can't!!! Have a lovely weekend, dear one! :-)

RNSANE said...

You manage to say one hell of a lot in a few short words! I'll bet there are a lot of men out there with a bevy of Monarchs fluttering away in their gastric regions.
