Butterfly Memories


After I’ve left here, this place
Will there still remain a trace
A tiny element of me behind
Just there, resting in your mind
Would you enter in and call me
In your dreams is it me you see
A butterfly memory softly there
Delicately sipping your minds air

How long will I linger with you?
Staying there silently, still true
Will you follow my scented path?
Wearing my memory as your scarf
Chasing me through your heart
Feeling the rainbows fall apart
Knowing I’m there held within
My memory leading you into sin

Will I be there still in the night
Calling you softly to loves delight
What memories will float in you?
Will you feel my touch all through?
How long will you hold onto me?
Recalling my taste flowing so free
Shadows of memories recalling you
To a butterfly love that felt so true

Marsha






Take back the hope you gave,- I claim
Only a memory of the same

since brevity is the lesson of the day ...
then might I simply say ...

MY OH MY!!
into my library with this butterfly.

It is a song that rises from a bleeding wound ...

Robert thank you so very much, this is me learning, and stretching wings. I am so pleased this all came out. Margie has been tutoring me in the art of graphics. Well and lots of other things too. I'm learning to walk, and fly, and it's because of my tutors that I am managing to retian some part of it.
Thank you truly
Take care

Margie girl, and I shall be eternally grateful to you, for even though it must be excessively tiresome, you still manage to keep your temper sweet, and give me the help I so desperately need. Thank you so very muchly.
(I don't know take a week of work and get press ganged into poetry slavery!)  
Take care love
                  Mushy
                    

Janet Marie love, thank you so kindly, they are right though i know it's just I find it so difficult to be brief. But it's good for me I know, I just like to moan a lot because I wouldn't like everyone to get the impression that it was easy.  
Thank you truly love,
take care as always

Marsha~
I find I am at a loss of words when
it comes to your work anymore. Seems
I've said it all...but I'll say it again
you are grrreat!! excellent piece you
have wove here...but the line that captured
it all for me is as follows

"Will you follow my scented path?
Wearing my memory as your scarf
Chasing me through your heart
Feeling the rainbows fall apart
Knowing I’m there held within
My memory leading you into sin"

Awesome verse...loved the whole thing.
Talk to you later my friend. Take care.

Pepper love, thank you so very much, I'm still growing, and I had to write this, after I found the graphic, I had to use it. And you know what it's like when you discover a new skill, you just have to try it out.
Thank you so very muchly for all your support
Take care love

Circe love, you are so sweet to me, and I truly value you, but you do know that? Right!
I'm always pleased to see your name love, thank you muchly.
Take care love
                   Mushy
                      

Melissa love, thank you so very muchly, more of my stretching exercises. And they do seem to be working, but I've never been the patient type, and I just wish that I didn't need to stretch quite so much.
Thank you for the beautiful love I really do appreciate it you know!
Take care as always love
               Mushy
