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?

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

If you were a butterfly, I would let you land on my fingertip. Or maybe fly away with the next door bumble bee :) Lovely write, Victor.

Your imagery is very pleasant, colorful and summery, Victor. The verse also poses lovers' questions, with shades of mystery. A beautiful poem. :)

Ah, I much prefer butterflies then bumble bees, one stings the other one sings . I think your poem on the butterfly is utterly adorable. Thanks for sharing Victor.

Hi Victor, I butterfly is lovely and delicate. It was never meant to be tired down it was meant to free . Some times when love someone/ something you have to (let it be free). This is my take on your well written write. This is going straight in my favs. Have a wonderful day my friend:-) Alexis
