butterfly wings

wordless love
how can i, word-dependent, express the unspeakable?
stitch up these lips
carve out a hole in the earth for us to sit in
quietly
so as not to disturb the
love that's forming
a delicate webbing
translucent skin
stretched over our
scared selves
sheltered in this
silent cocoon
one day to break free
on wings of
strength and colour

I think this is absolutely beautiful! A totally real expression of what love is, easy to build at first but so easily broken...and hard to mend. Sometimes words are best left unsaid...hang in girl - I love you,
