VAMPIRE & BUTTERFLY

Tearing off the soft wings of butterfly

One by one

With the precision of a professional killer

She declared:

“Have you ever cared to catch a 

butterfly?

Have you ever held it in between your fingers?

Have you ever cared to look into its eyes?

Have you ever dared to go anywhere near this lovely Insect?

I have done it all and more

Thus I am entitled to torture it to the core.

Beware

Butchering a butterfly is my prerogative.”

Lo _

Declaring so

Changing colours as chameleon

 _Now modern, now primitive

She started penning poem supreme

on butterfly maimed.

Engulfed in fear am I here

Praying for her dear ones’welfare.
