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.

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

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.

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?

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.

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.

Thanks Andrea, I took your suggestion.

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.

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
