If You Were a Butterfly

if i were a flower
in a garden of many
a semblance
beneath thorns
would my aura
allure you

would you breathe
the fragrance
of my petals
touch me
delicately
whispering
kisses
through
the stems
of my being

if you were 
a butterfly

thank you for the sweet comment my friend...i was watching a monarch on my neighbors flowers, what's left of them, and was watching him as if he was carefully choosing which flower he wanted to land on...:) hugs
