Butterfly Poems

They said I earned it, so why sit home instead?

A real vacation would be the nicest thing yet;
Go see the peachiest scenery you'll never regret!

I listened very carefully to what my friends...Read More

You are my bright spot
When I meet your gaze
and see your brilliant smile
Your wavy hair playing in the wind

- The violins shower
in a sumptuous landscape
A thousand butterfly kisses
which tickles my lips
- then .. my heart with pleasure fills

 was a strolling through the heartlands
and you are in the foliage
Woodlands
When I thought of the woodlands
there are the trees never pining
Death shall never come to the maples
and the peonies never foresting
the burr oak brought such sorrow
Tomorrows

Much I marveled the...Read More

Dear Love

Your skin is dark crimson rose
That shines like a young sun
Your voice opens locked doors
Your passion is as huge as a baobab shadow

We are sweet seeds, stevia
And cannabis sativa
Yellow butterfly bush
Joined by glowing wings

You are golden marigold
Your eyes the...Read More

You showed me something 
I never thought I had
U made me travel a path
I wouldn’t otherwise 
Letting go of inhibitions

In you 
A connection unknown 
Where 2 hearts meet 
And it feels like home

Butterfly, Butterfly, Oh! so fair
On gossamer wings you flit on the air
Soaring serenely high up above
Tell me, please tell me, where is my true love?

With my arms wrapped around you
You started to weep
And the tears that you shed
Flowed down your...Read More

See it standing there thinking about me all night
It is shooting up in the air with no limit to bear
It’s standing tall and strong with something for everyone.

It’s only a tree but it keeps...Read More

I have been on a long journey- 
the road I have traveled has been a rocky one
I have wept my tears 
my sky is often black as ink
in a life of dangerous curves and hanging cliffs
where deep sadness wraps me...Read More

Springs Awakenings.
.
The mottled nibble butterfly
Stretches it’s paper like delicate wings
As the sun casts it’s warm pleasant light
The dainty robin heralds a new day born
And joyfully sings
As another day unfolds
Within the awakening mantel of spring
And a teasing gentle warming breeze
Caresses and...Read More

Blue morpho sat quietly 
Waiting in silence for the cosmos to begin
She did not have long to wait. 

Crescent moon slid out for a peek
slightly before the light show of the evening
Morpho sat quietly, gazing into the realms of creation

I just want to be 
Involved in something romantically
With someone who wants to be
In this together with me
Oh I

Who understands why 
Why he chose 
To be with me whoa
Promise to give all...Read More

I saw you flash across my dew latticed meadow
Chromatic glare of dawn flushed your satin face
On the flow of time ripple of my moments froze.

The glint of your seraphic eyes glistered on me
Filled...Read More

FLOWER IN THE CRANNIED WALL

I tower above the crumbling ruins
Of a once majestic tower,
Flag and pennant proudly proclaimed 
Pompous claim of pelf and power.

Yet all the boast and bombast,
In crumbling  silence relates,
Of transient tenebrous things,
Of fickle times, of fickler...Read More

And the gentle breeze brushing everything, dancing and passing

Like a soldier on mission, to the top of a...Read More

"Love Crucifies"



I have you pinned
butterfly
all your colours 
spreading 
naked underneath
submission whispers
submission speaks
hands encircle 
your wrists
arms open 
outstretched
beckoning
beseeching
my heart 
on your 
drum beating 
chest

Love Crucifies
Love Liberates

We transfer souls
We kiss

Love Liberates
Love Crucifies

une petite mort à tout prix
Just like this

Love Crucifies
Love Liberates

We transfer...Read More

Trying, trying, trying to find where you been

to... a... few. 

They are taken to better places,...Read More
