The breeze of temptation lovely as a swan
luring sweet words in waterfalls of bliss
fluttering, a butterfly upon a tea rose

why does the heart entangle itself?
weaving silken threads of hope
drowning in oceanic passions
of the continental slope

listen to rustling of the leaves
in the language of the trees
whispering idiom secrets
universal to the heart

listen to the bluebirds
and song of each blade of grass
unweave the heart of despair



A poem is never finished, only abandoned.
- Paul Valery (1871-1945)

Victoria~
My goodness - this is so pretty !

'fluttering, a butterfly upon a tea rose'

Oh, how delicate is the imagery.
Thank you for being a poet.

Sprayed across my heart and hers
Danced butterflies in the wild
This angel, this woman ,
who loves me with the innocence of a child.

"listen to rustling of the leaves

whispering idiom secrets

though I did enjoy the entire piece  



With the word, I am mighty, with the pen I am free..
