#NatureSpeaks: 30 #Poems in 30 Days – Day 14: Butterflies Blue, by Shruthi Senthilkumar

Sometimes I think of them
As I rest in the sky
Glistening with love and pain
The oceans in our eyes.

And sadness comes splashing in
An ache on an aquamarine wind
The chill of the past, the tides on the whole
The diverging gushes of a waterfall soul

Yet right where it settles in
Is a cauldron deep within
From which a sapphire’s light bursts through
With the remainder of love and butterflies blue.

But sometimes I think of them
As I rest in the sky
Glistening with love and pain
The oceans in our eyes.

Butterflies Blue was inspired by the poem Butterfly Love. You can read more of Shruthi’s poetry at Read Up.

Submissions are still open for the Nature Speaks of Love and Sorrow: 30 Poems in 30 Days Collaboration. The submission details are located here.

your eyes, Published at MasticadoresUSA

I am pleased to announce that my poem, your eyes, is now available at MasticadoresUSA. Thank you to Gabriela Marie Milton, and the team at MasticadoresUSA for their continued support and for publishing this piece.

your eyes

nature is full of wonder, all of its
aspects take me

under, into a world seen and unseen
like the breeze

on a cold and windy day
in the midst of a calm sea

I resign, and stay…

I would be honored if you would go here, and read the rest of my poem. Thank you!

sunshine enchantment

flowers look through me
to you

telling tales of enchantments
rare, and at times

hard to scale
yet, I seek solace in the diamonds of your eyes

remembering, the sunshine

living in the stream of you and me
is proof

of the sacred and serene, our ultimate
truth

cosmic eyes

broken hearts of the wind

are gentle, in times when strings are
thin, and fierce

as we gather the materials within

to live, love, and laugh at the sky

reminding me

of how hard we all try
even when we want to shout

we can still let it go by

with a pause, and a breath
watching the waves wash over our missteps

revealing, and relating

the nature of the cosmos in your eyes

of a love

that always shines
