Gentle On My Mind

by Chris Sorrenti


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 mettle
gentle on my mind
you fly
silver lined nimbus cumuli
dare I say too much my love
or POOF
you’ll blow away

So sweet, such a pretty internal rhyme too...

A blast from the past, that certainly resonated through time well. Beautiful imagery, and daunting message. Well written, friend.
