You were mine, glad to be caged, imprisoned in my grip, an ecstasy of love. I was not wise, looked further afield, found other nymphs, satiated and fully satisfied I shunned your essence. I opened my hand and you like a freed butterfly, flew away. I saw you gorge on nectar sweet and urged you back, but the chain was broken. Once again like spring-time seeds you flew away upon the countryside breeze. FICTION

Victor, if one wants to keep a butterfly sweet don’t go causing the heart of another to flutter. Love this fictional write… Belle

Major mistakes often mark adolescence that the aging process could undo. You've performed well, Victor. My very best wishes on the Alpha Line Contest, blessings, and best regards

A bittersweet tale, marvelously told, of what can happen when someone's careless with a love affair. Wonderful imagery! :)

Some people just are not going to be tied down to only one love. They are born that way and have to flit like a butterfly or a hummingbird. I enjoyed reading your work. I am sure you have know people like this from viewing it from afar. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

You play with fire you're going to get burnt. A scenario you often hear about Victor. Tom

I love the flow and feel of this verse. I like the imagery of, "I opened my hand and you like a freed butterfly, flew away. like spring-time seeds you flew away"
