LOVELY BUTTERFLY
by John Khuu

Cocooned in my own blindness
I followed right after love,
Cocooned in my utter bliss
I felt what was truly love.
But. . .
I wrapped my dreams around her,
And now I fall without her.

I once flew with the angels
Flying high I felt true love,
I felt love from my angel
Soaring in the clouds of love. . .
Once.
She flew away from my dreams,
I grasp silk with broken seams.

Butterfly catchers hiding,
Caught up in their loveless sport.
They pin down anything flying
But she's out of reach from hurt
For now.
I'm no butterfly catcher,
But a lover lost out here.

I lost her love to Prince Charmin'-
An image she drew of me.
I lost heed from my believing
That she would love me for me.
But. . .
She clothed the Prince around me,
I wrapped my dreams too tightly.

Lovely butterfly she is. . .
And I, the ugly lover
Clutching silk with broken seams. . .
Flying from me forever. . .
Gone.

I love you always Huijie,
But where do I go to now?

GOOD MORNING!

I start my vacation when I get off work from my f.t. job this afternoon, WOOOHOOOO! I'll be back to work Monday, July 26th. Not going anywhere, just stay around the house and rest and clean, or at least move piles around. I don't know if I'll be here while I'm on vacation, dial-up at home and don't know if I can trust myself NOT to be here ALL day.

They brought us some work yesterday and we're still working on it today, so don't know if I'll be around much today. Enjoy your day, and have a wonderful week! I'll miss EVERYONE!
