GENTLE ON MY MIND

 

I find you there

all the time

gentle on my mind

your smile

a psychadelic flag

telling the butterflies to flutter

FLUTTER

their wings

the things we do together

turning to melted butter

with a wet smack lip

 

I have your sugar spun image

engraved in my soul

no toll booths between us

your face

an untarnishable medal

gentle on my mind

you fly

silver lined nimbus cumuli

dare I say too much my love

or POOF

you’ll blow away
