The Butterfly's Ballad and I
I get a glimpse of you
A soft hue of light lavender
rising in my dawn
Gliding fervently
in a sun-kissed breeze.
An ephemeral bliss
enchanting the depths
of these caramel eyes.
Your purple wings flaunt
in whimsical ballad
Sprinkling evanescent dew
across the embers of my heart.
And I feel them ,silk fluorescent flutters
tickling my bare shoulder
Chasing the back of my neck
Teasing in wistful wonder.
My blushed smile
preserves the moment
of each tender touch
across the ivory of my cheek
It preserves the moment
of fervent kisses
fading in ethereal bliss.
An unspoiled warmth
A playful brush moving
along hazel cascading hair.
My heart captures the seconds
before those iridescent wings
fly high in sheer splendour
to crimson blossoms which bloom
Which sway,which bleed their rose
Which wrap their stems around my feet
Around my hands,so I would not follow
shimmering dust on promised paths
of rainbow's pastels.
So I would not find the faraway land.
Yet,here I am,on autumn's carpet
I mark my footprints.
Yet ,Here I come ,so close to you
Surrounded by serene calm beauty
Waltzing with the most unique butterfly
The one I love ,loyal and true
