Just Like a Butterfly

She is beautiful but elusive Just like a butterfly Never quite touched but so desirable Aloof as she walks past me If approached too hastily, she flits away Just like a butterfly Look as she runs away, her beauty follows Leaving me so longingly alone I am aroused by her resplendent grandeur Just like a butterfly Then, she smiles looking both elegant and exotic Sensuously, she turns…were those wings? The nectar of the gods courses within her Just like a butterfly I reach to caress her cheek craving its velvet softness Yet, I am too late…she flutters from me. Something calls harshly in the distance… The alarm summons me from my dreams My bed warmly cocoons but slowly releases me Just like a butterfly

This is absolutely delightful Carol. I adore the imagery - I loved the twist at the end - just a wonderful dream but oh what a dream:-) Hugs Jan xx a 7 from me:-)
