Victor Buhagiar Poet Rhyme

Butterfly

If I were a butterfly
would you love me more?
would you treat me delicately?
look deep into my core?
 
If I were a butterfly
would you let me land
on the tip of your finger
or let me play upon the sand?
 
If I were a butterfly
would you be gentle and nice?
breathe softly upon me
and kiss me lightly thrice?
 
If I were a butterfly,
alas I'd fly away
for staying with you, darling
there's quite a lot to pay.
 
If I were a butterfly
I'd rather my soul be free
Never tied to slavery
paying you too high a fee.
 
Yet if I were a butterfly
would you fly away with me?
Or always unfaithful, would you
fly away with a bumble bee?

Sara Kendrick February 22, 2021 at 11:34 AM Cute one but not really. It would not be good to be in love with someone who could not remain faithful. Enjoyed reading this one. I don't know how I missed it. Thanks for all your visits. Sara
