A Butterfly Never Dies Poem by Haleh Esmailian

Tired of all men, being alike
My tree house was where I was walking toward.
My wooden tiny house with a few stuff,
The only place in the world
I feel in there, alive!
• It Was nearly night
• The darkness kept growing upright
• I lit a candle up
• To shed in the room some light
• Residing on my chair by the table
• Watching the shadows dancing on the wall
• Was my favorite hobby!
• Was what I enjoyed a lot!
• Having one burning candle,
• On its light I did rely!
• Twirling round the candle
• I saw a tiny butterfly!

• With light no more than, that of a twilight,
• The wooden table, as far as I could see,
• Was where it seemed to have chosen
• To alight!

• Still on my chair
• Covered with cold sweat,
• With no move of a muscle
• I kept sitting tight!
• Some thing was about to happen
• some thing foreseen by my heart.
• Frozen to the depth of my hot soul,
• As if some one had my night sleep, hold!
• I remembered that famous love legend,
• Of the butterfly and of the light
I had been told
• That famous love legend
• The butterfly showed me,
• Was no mere poetry
• But poetically right!


• The flames were life taking
• But I witnessed with poor sight,
• So vividly, so bright,
• That romantic
• But majestic re-unite!

• I wished I could have stood up
• With the final scene, I knew,
• My heart would have a hard time
• To put up!
• It all looked like a dream!
• I wished some one would have waken me up!
• " spare it all the pain! "
• " Just go kill it at once! "
• "got to do some thing! Hurry! "

• "or else, hell vs. paradise! "
• Seeing it twirling around the light,
• Steady now with no more alight
• I couldn't stop it…
• I did nothing…
• As the owner of that weird voice,
• Had asked!

• It was over, in that moment,
• The legend…the crazy love for light.
• final scene was well performed!
• The butterfly burned right out of my sight.

• What was meant to be done
• Was just done!
• The blaming voices were also gone!

• Your destiny no matter what it was,
• Was some thing from which
• No body could run!
• Touching my face so gentle,
• Waking me up
• Were the rays of the morning sun
• Shining so bright!

• Feeling sore all over,
I soon realized,
My wooden chair was where
I slept on, all night!

• As if totally paralyzed
• Was how I felt,
• Seeing a half burned candle
• Being supposed to melt!
• Wasn't me who had put that off!
• "oh! The wind! I bet! "
• Preventing some fire,
• had saved my life! ?
• Wasn't me who had put that off!
• "oh! The wind! I bet! "
• Preventing some fire had saved my life?
