Punched by Love by Heishalee Aviles

Punched by Love

By Heishalee Aviles 

Punched by the sting of Love

A cobra’s venom surged through me

Illusions paralyzed by ignorance

Crushing a flower’s innocence

Our encounter left a bitter taste

Upon my scorched tongue

Even as I choked in silent sobs

Emotions drowned out

By splashes of reality

Obsession restricted time’s chance

To appease the soul

Like a silent thief

You stopped the moment

From growing into a wondrous garden

My rainbow butterflies died

Reemerging as bats of loneliness

Fluttered through desolate night

Awareness its stilted child

Honey eyes sprang forth

Revealing glimmers of a haunted past

Leaving shadows of ghosts lost

Entangled in the world of you

Poor choices against the grain

Shattered all hopes

If left unnurtured

Love evaporates

Forever sealing our fate

Hope is born from the darkest halls

New days shine light

This butterfly will rise again

And you will be left remiss

For this angel sings

The glory of a new Knight

Arrogance sealed your fate

These lips you will never kiss
