What you’ll need:

2 cups of love
1 dash of butterflies
1/2 cup of tenderness
1 cup of loving kisses
1 tablespoon of bittersweet chocolate
1 cup of sugar
2 tablespoons of flower

Directions:

pluck the wings from
butterflies
until they can no longer
fly away

and then you will
whisper loving lies and
melt them with
tender touches

bring them daisies
behind sugary smiles
until the butterflies believe
they no longer need wings —

that you so delicately
clipped away,
and mixed with
your love
