Like a Butterfly

Like a butterfly, graceful and free,
You arrived, embraced by summer's grace,
And sweet floral scents engulfing me,
Awakening my sleepy space,

Just like a butterfly, so enchanting,
Dancing gracefully with hues divine,
Colors painted, a sight entrancing,
A masterpiece, in an artist's mind,

Elusive as a butterfly's flight,
Cunningly enchanting, you appear,
Fairy-like of my delight,
Relieves my heart from despair,

Surprising as a butterfly's flight,
Hastily fluttering by,
Hates me without reason's sight,
Frenzied, leaving me to sigh,

Like a butterfly, you brought your charm,
Sweet scents riding in the air,
A fleeting presence in my arm,
Left me unaware,
