In Deutschland they're called Schmetterling 
Mariposa down in Spain,
And although they're called, by different names
They're really quiet the same 
Borboleta sounds like fun to say
and Farfalla twist my tongue  
But when they're seen in France
They're simply Papillon
But in the Scottish hills
Where they migrate with...

Luxuriant   garden fit for a lord

Imperturbable tranquility illuminated by the golden hues of sunshine

Teeming  with life, bees buzzing, butterflies fluttering, and

Lovable creatures with their pointed ears,  

Elated darting among the foliage flipping and swirling in...

blossoms lated as the rose
in the purest hope of spring.

I am calmed by your vesture that

Meeting you was utopian debut, and as I did, you felt it too
Indelibly in memories etched, there is no life without you

It is just complicated
no matter how I try it is
difficult I guess it
is not meant to be

Took me time to

Longed for long time
answer but ended up
confusing...

Igniting a precious find,
Rages through the very being,

Good waves wash over me afresh, 
Never have I felt so cosy,
Instantly, I'm pink and rosy,
To these comforting thoughts I cling,
Imagination -...

Jersey Shore was where my family picnicked every year
Under the weeping willow with a spraying fountain near
Nineteen ninety-eight we saw a bald eagle fly west
Eagles always soar that time of year to their nest
Though it was a chilly June we swam in the reverie 
Encompassed...
