Golden butterflies

A/N: I hope you like this. The Cowboy Bebop movie inspired me so...ta da!

Disclaimer: I don't want to own Cowboy Bebop, just Spike, since we're so alike it's scary. Kinda like an alter ego xDxD A-nyway, all I own, is this poem.

Summary: A small poem from Spike's POV about the butterflies in his dreams


Golden butterflies.

Golden sparkles of light, golden butterflies

Creating shadows cast across the skies

At vision's edge, so beautifully caught

Yet never there when pleadingly sought.

Fluttering wings, so vast, so deep

Pools of sunlight though rays do not meet

Isn't it like the silver moon's farewell?

As it cries when it does not hear sunshine's bells.

So lack of birds, free thought and light

And now a lack of simple sight

For the golden butterflies flutter fast

But it can't be real, only a dream of the past.

But what is dreaming, a visage of want?

Or some insanity that slowly haunts?

Whatever the hope, or reason it may be

These golden butterflies cloud my present to see.

I cannot see the present for they obstruct my every view

I cannot wonder the future as it comes so very soon

So I only see the past and the bright golden glow

Like the sun that never saw the moon or the twilight show.
