The Breath of Love

Is this beautiful summerbird what it seems                                                                          Or utter bewitchment just to steal my cream                                                                        This delicate thing emerges from its golden sheath                                                                            Elegantly unfurling wings vulnerably hanging beneath                                                                                      Like Psyche awakening from Cupid's first kiss                                                                                                                         Lost in a moment between desire and bliss                                                                       Must awake from this dream for the day is unfolding                                                                            For if this is a colorful temptress fairy I must be withholding                                                                     But maybe just a butterfly lifted gently upon the wind                                                                                         It is has been taken away help me Lord I have sinned

Keith Bickerstaffe December 6, 2015 at 11:22 AM Extremely well written John! '...like Psyche awakening from Cupid's first kiss, lost in a moment between desire and bliss' gorgeous phrasing! BRAVO my friend!! Best wishes, Keith John Beam December 6, 2015 at 10:13 PM Thanks, Bro. if I may. I tried to make it breath taking, but I am always dismayed.
