Confusion
The crawling attention I gave,
The ambiguous speech I spoke,
To what have become my heart,
Disarray of impressions, art revoked.
In frenzy, emotions writhe in strife,
Seeking solace in a chaotic dance.
Lost in the labyrinth of love's design,
Yearning for a fleeting chance.
Out of darkness, to the path we tread,
Where sun rises but apparently spread,
We lost in confusions, ensnared in strife,
Yet seeking a glimmer, a flickering life.
Why do people call you "Butterfly,"
O' elusive creature of the sky,
A moon flower you are, yet you're called,
As if your wings were made of gold.
With vibrant hues, you dance and roam,
A symbol of beauty, in flight you've flown.
But beneath your fragile wings lie secrets unknown,
O' butterfly, I couldn't discern you sometimes.
O' God forgive me, for I have sinned
I got an intoxicating thoughts because
I am confused, lost within my skin
Yearning for guidance, clarity on this path
Grant me solace, erase this heavy burden
Cleanse my soul, wash away the stain
Renew my spirit, help me find my way.
In the garden of dreams, Butterfly dances,
Fluttering wings with grace,
Filling my thoughts' empty space.
Yet my heart, ensnared, lies, Bound by worldly ties,
Lost in tangled mess, Needing freedom's caress.
