Carol Davis Poet Free verse

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
