Richard Lamoureux Poet Lyric

Butterfly Dance

Dance for me beautiful butterfly 
Flutter me wise
Carry me upward to blue skies
Reveal rainbow effervescence to my eyes

My perfect moment encased in time
Within my heart you plant a hopeful seed
Like many wild flowers you fill my need
Waltz in my garden please take the lead

Dance for me beautiful butterfly
Reveal all the colours I long to see
Psychedelic wings defying simple gravity
I sit in wonder watching you breathlessly 

With nets people try to capture infinity
Angelic beings in this world are far too few
My hope through painted eyes you do renew
Heavenly glimpses when into my life you flew

Dance for me beautiful butterfly
On pleasured currents help me rise
I am but an observer I wholly realize
Reveal rainbow effervescence to my eyes!

Waltz in my garden please take the lead
I sit in wonder watching you breathlessly 
Heavenly glimpses when into my life you flew
Revealing rainbow effervescence saying I love you too!

I dedicate this piece to the love of my life. My sweetie makes my heart flutter,
25 years of joy and she makes each day special.

Lindsay Laurie August 26, 2019 at 6:40 PM G'day Richard … really nice set of lyrics Richard. Butterflies appear to present daintiness with their soft silent flight and colour and so provide gentleness when we compare them to our own lives - thank you Richard - Lindsay Richard Lamoureux August 26, 2019 at 8:00 PM Thanks Lindsay. ;0)

Vladislav Raven October 20, 2018 at 1:32 PM Hi Richard, an excellent lyric for your own, beautiful, brown eyes. This is such a wonderful write written from the heart and it touches the heart of the reader deeply. A song from the heart shall always touch the soul. The butterfly shall always fly Richard for love is the eternal. I love the content my friend. The imagery, in beauty, sings into my mind. This has to be a fave Richard. Have a wonderful weekend. Your friend always....Mike. Richard Lamoureux October 22, 2018 at 7:30 AM You are kind Mike!

George Stanworth July 18, 2018 at 2:02 AM Hi Richard. This is a beautiful lyric. I love the imagery within it. I particularly enjoyed the line 'Reveal all the colours I long to see'. Have you had this lyric put to music? Richard Lamoureux July 18, 2018 at 8:46 AM Thanks George. No I haven’t had it put to music. If you are inclined to do so feel free to do so, I would be honoured.

Jannie Breedt May 16, 2018 at 12:05 PM Hi Richard. Ditto here. We both were taken in by them and both our poems are on best new poems lying side by side.I read yours now you can read mine too ha ha

Elaine George May 2, 2018 at 5:29 PM Stunningly beautiful like the butterfly itself. She must be a very special lady. sincerely, Elaine George

Paul Callus April 28, 2018 at 8:23 AM A very lovely metaphorical poem, Richard. May this butterfly dance for you for many years to come! Regards // paul Richard Lamoureux April 28, 2018 at 8:41 AM Thanks Paul.

Harry Horsman April 27, 2018 at 4:54 AM love you when in this mood Richard..classic poetry, Richard Lamoureux April 27, 2018 at 7:51 AM Thanks Harry, it was a fun one to write.

Andrea Dietrich April 27, 2018 at 1:33 AM a very clever patterned verse you came up with here. Loved how the last three lines of each stanza rhymed. I expected maybe you would do something with the first lines kind of like making them match up in the end! I think there is some poetry form that does that. Very pretty. I saw a typo in verse 4 line 2. (to) few. It's really nice seeing you take on lyrical verse. Richard Lamoureux April 27, 2018 at 8:11 AM Thanks Andrea, I took your suggestion.

Silent One April 26, 2018 at 4:36 PM Such a tender beautiful dance... Well expressed Richard.. Richard Lamoureux April 27, 2018 at 7:52 AM Thanks Silent.

Carolyn Devonshire April 25, 2018 at 5:13 PM Your "butterfly's" colorful wings and delightful dance can, indeed, remind us of angels. It must be heavenly to have such an inspired love. Beautiful poetry, Richard! Hugs, Carolyn. Richard Lamoureux April 26, 2018 at 9:00 AM Thanks Carolyn. Hi hugs Rick.

John Gondolf April 25, 2018 at 8:49 AM A great poem, Richard, enjoyed it. For me the butterfly is a metaphor for a beautiful young woman. John Richard Lamoureux April 25, 2018 at 9:05 AM You are very perceptive John.

Sunlite Wanter April 24, 2018 at 6:10 PM Lovely conversation with a butterfly.. Wish we had more of them to see. Richard Lamoureux April 25, 2018 at 9:05 AM That would be lovely.

Alexis Y. April 24, 2018 at 9:49 AM WoW! Richard, These are some good lyrics. I for one am groovin to the beat of every line and stanza. You were able to take the lovely butterfly and pen something amazing. Because of your piece I don't think I can look at a butterfly the same way. Excellent job:-) Alexis Richard Lamoureux April 25, 2018 at 8:00 AM Thanks Alexis, it was fun to write.
