Beautiful Butterfly

Wrapped in a rainbow of vibrant beauty
While butterflies dance to rhythms beat
Caught off balance by beauty still
Inspired by the smallest features

Found where love is it's purest
Fluttering on silk wings
Waiting patiently for butterfly kisses
A promise of perfumed dreams

Here while wrapped in ecstasy 
Intoxicated by butterfly beauty
Drinking in naked fantasies
Stay beautiful, beautiful butterfly

... * Not even Macbeth made sense anymore as I gazed out the window * Sweat falling from my brow upon her naked asss, with glowing eyes * Framed in crimson applauding through the stained glass... * "CatPeople II" *

...Lights camera action ---- And I dipped my quill into her heart shaped glass * Red as rum that ran from its tip * But I don't know why Shakespeare cried, she screamed * Whileas kicking her high into the night; toes spread wide * But I, remaining composed as she had requested... * Afore chaining her beauty unto the bed post; full moon madness * In drops of silver hues and tighter, she begged until she collasped * ...Cont}

Smile ˜ Tis supposed to be within the fourth line --- "Whileas kicking her 'feet' high into the night; toes spread wide" ... :)

The butterfly is such a beautiful inspiration for and topic of poetry. I think, a well-written poem has some of that fluttering characteristic we admire in the butterfly. This is especially true with a free-verse poem written well - as this one is. Thanks for sharing your beauty with us.

I can see the delicacy of a butterfly signifying the beauty of love. Such a wonderful comparison. :)
