    Obsidian Butterfly
    Shrouded in mystery
    The obsidian butterfly
    Perched upon my shoulder

    Her somber colored wings
    Fluttered against my cheek
    Drinking in my tears
    And swallowing my pain

    She kissed my brow with invisible lips
    Then hovered just out of reach
    Allowing me to catch sight of my reflection
    Framed within her drowning black eyes

    Horrified by the sight
    And the feeling of detached lonliness
    I begged her not leave me

    She flew into my embrace
    I heard her whisper to my soul
    And she carried me
    Till my forever ended

    Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
