Butterfly Wings

tropical night sways
as we glide under starlight
butterfly wings land
on my bare shoulder disguised
as his soft familiar touch

This is lovely and romantic Rhonda. I posted one a little bit like this called Desire. Butterflies bring out the romance in poets for sure.

This is a truly wonderful write Rhonda! I can picture everything in your poem as if it is happened right before me eyes! I really enjoyed this fabulous work of art that you have created! I love butterflies anyway, this just brings me closer to them! I believe this might be for a contest, so good luck in the contest if you have entered into Rick's contest! Great Work!!
