Moon: The Lit Lantern
Some time just before the sunset, When the butterflies were gone, The moon was on its way, There was no eclipse, but it felt that way When there was darkness all around, A beam entered in their life, Turning the time around, With 11:11, no longer on the clock Beneath the sun's glaze, we often turn blind eye, While seeing the perspective through...

Premium Member Under the velvet sky where stars dance like butterflies of light
Under the velvet sky where stars dance like butterflies of light, A man is born from the dream of eternity, like a flower from the serene night, Sculpted from the silent shadows of time, floating on the endless sea, Traveling through the waves of destiny, an existence crafted from mystery. His breath is a warm breeze caressing the green...

Premium Member Swallowed Butterflies
Now I keep a dead rose in my pocket pressed in old pages of a faded book. To hold you like a palm stone of garnet I’ve stuck you right inside the story’s hook. A frozen bud I can see how we met, feel my gut fall with that very first look. I peered into those dark skies of...

Nothing but Butterflies
we are nothing but butterflies flying for a day but thinking it’s forever wings soft as what we never say hearts light but the silence heavy time slips like threads unraveling steady love lives loud in a whisper’s disguise sunset in our chest while the morning dies we kiss like we’re carving our names in the breeze but breath forgets it doesn't beg doesn't plead our shadows stretch thin where the light won’t...

Premium Member In a world where words are butterflies of light dancing at dawn
In a world where words are butterflies of light dancing at dawn, The poet becomes an alchemist of shadow, transmuting silence into gold, A beacon spreading its ray through the waves of time's mist, Critic of society, he digs deep into the soil of ignorance with a silver quill. Verses flow like a river of stars through the eternal...

Premium Member Goodbye Winter Welcome Spring
"We must say, goodbye to winter but do not be sad. It will come back again next year with a big smile and plenty of snow. Now we welcome Spring to enjoy." By Poet Winter can be very cold, the wind will sing and be very bold. The ground is covered with fluffy snow, to play in as the...

Premium Member Life Passing Me By POTD
From obscurity come the strangers Fading away, like old dangers. Walking the street of flowers more people pass every hour A few are pleasantry exchangers. Near my porch, robin sings Beautiful music for summer swing! Red berries in a bowl Kelly green butterfles, on patrol Noontime's for swaying and musing. Passersby, smiles of the moment Starry eyes, upon distance fervent! Jasmine fragrance in the air Pink hummingbird is...

As she drinks nectar from a flower, sweetness from heaven falls like dew anointed with a gentle rain amidst sun showers she appears as if on cue Lifting her wings she lands on a Zinnia beneath a tinted sky of April blue flight of fancy fanning fast, fabulous marvel, she is beauty true on...

Chasing butterflies
~ She chased a pretty butterfly, the field a minty green With Salvia and Baby's Breath, a watercolor scene As fast as her two feet could run, she touched its silken wing, so vivid, a kaleidoscope, a stained-glass kind of thing When suddenly the grasses swayed, she felt herself ascend Then laughed as every tree below began to twist and bend It seemed that something magical had happened 'fore...

Premium Member Why are Butterflies so Beautiful?
From the drab green-brown worm of caterpillars and pupae, Emerges the phosphorescent butterfly so pleasing to the eye! But, why oh why, are butterflies so superbly colorful, That we admire the fleeting flutters and flashes as wonderful? Is it to say: "Be warned I'm toxic don't you dare eat me!" Is it to attract a mate or mimic leaves, or...

MULBERRY TREES AND BUTTERFLIES
MULBERRY TREES AND BUTTERFLIES Don’t go back to heavy sleep dwell in the wakefulness of I AM THAT I AM here mulberries and butterflies beckon across filtered fences which you can comely climb for a bountiful bestowing pick, a Sunday spongy pudding to lick Don’t go back to weepy sleep red wings glittering glow will gently flutter to enfold tired flesh ~...
