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 Date: 8/26/2019 6:40:00 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 Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 8/26/2019 8:00:00 PM Thanks Lindsay. ;0)

Andrea Dietrich Date: 4/27/2018 1:33:00 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. Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 4/27/2018 8:11:00 AM Thanks Andrea, I took your suggestion.

Alexis Y. Date: 4/24/2018 9:49:00 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 Login to Reply Richard Lamoureux Date: 4/25/2018 8:00:00 AM Thanks Alexis, it was fun to write.
