origami bird
origami bird
she flies out my window
waving her notebook paper wings
as she said, “good bye, miss amorous poetess”
i wave back a goodbye to her
sadly sitting there
on my bed with a
small broken smile
upon my face
she was all gone
in the autumn breeze
disappearing her shadow
from the bluest sky
even before my dark brown eyes
she flew away
in the falling golden leaves
but the beauty of her reflection
lightens my soul
almost like a spirit
and now that origami bird,
she has made me fly
too
fly with the origami birds
beneath the blushing pink sun
while i twirl and sway
surrounding pretty colored clouds
yet i have found my heart
folding into rhythmic sweet words
that fall out of my fingertips
becoming the romantic poetry
when the whole nation could hear me
beyond the bright rainbow skies
reciting my soul to the world……
but i’m not an origami bird
i am an origami butterfly---------
