With every breath that love released
acidic fruit leaves stains upon
the beat of this brittle heart...
Butterflies dance upon the
colors that lyrics made
when the footprints
of your shadow
faded..
Strumming the strings
of my guitar as the
rhythm of the falling stars
move into the ocean's waves
as foam drowns my mouth
full of insanity's impressions.
Wrapping the moon around
my soul for the comfort
of heated passion
from the world
I hide beneath
the starfish and her sigh.
Memories drift into
the open door of a
lonely highway
as laughter rang out
upon a Lily's soft snow white
petal of innocent kisses
and child's love.
Underneath the midnight sky
I see your face in the
earth around me.
Lasting in the scream of my heart
you breathed your last
upon my butterfly kiss...

This is an excellent job ...
except for the two errors.
move into the oceans waves (ocean's waves)
as foam drowns my mouth
full of insanty's impressions. (insanity's impressions)
and you also have a double the in the next stanza.
Otherwise, this is perfect.
