Tim Smith Poet Free verse

Flutter My Butterfly

When I close my eyes you come crawling 
stirring up my soul 
diving in my dreams 
delving thru my seams 

Flutter my butterfly with vestigial wings 
let me chase after you 
where the catail do sing 

Fly over hilltops seduced by the sea 
slip off to the sunshine 
and visions of me 

Enter my pasture where waters run deep 
place your wings upon my shoulders 
and let yesterday's sleep

Lin Lane August 13, 2017 at 11:55 AM I know the sea can be alluring, but not as seductive as these romantic words. You leave me sighing, Tim.
