Butterflies

They go fluttering,
One blossom to another;
Rapacious beauties,
seizing, sucking, sweet honey.
A dozen plump butterflies.

In lavish colors,
a dozen plump butterflies 
sneaked into my heart.
As they dance around flowers,
wonder when you planted them?

Thanks dear Jan :) I see butterflies associated with beauty and something positive. I am sure we all experience butterflies fluttering in our hearts. I just garbed the feeling in poetry.
