A Longing

A Longing
P K Routray
Hey! Butterfly,
catch you I try,
out of jealousy,
intent Inner fancy
for a life like yours
dreaming since years.
With sweet will
experience of thrill
from flower to flower
with tiny wing’s flutter
at your whim and pleasure
fly you, Hey! Blessed a creature!
Drink you nectar divine
smell you the fragrance, hard to define,
gaze you the beauty to your heart’s content
envy I the life you live and enjoy every moment.
Human being I am, superior to you I claim
but long, love and cherish your life, God I blame.
