The luster of Apollo's face Streaks across the sky... And falls upon a distant place Where painted wings do fly... Watercolors sweep the dawn And flirt with silver seas... Here on brilliant emerald lawns Lives a dreamer's reverie... Dipped within the golden dew Shining butterflies dance... Whispers drift with strength anew As the risk of love is chanced... ...With a thought, our souls combine... Sun rays fly as lips collide And lust floods on velvet wings... In your heart I do confide While a jeweled horizon sings... Twilight sprays a glittered breath As our silhouettes do fall... Shadowed doubt is put to death When echoes of forever call... I loose myself within your eyes And pulsing bodies meld to one... Here among the butterflies Our legacy has just begun... *Krista Knutson* "Cherish your vision; Cherish your ideals; Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts. If you remain true to them, your world will at last be built." ~James Allen~ "We've made houses for hatred...it's time we made a place where people's souls may be seen and made safe"...~Jewel~ |

Wow Krista! What a unique way of comparing the heat of passion between two lovers to the carefree beauty of a butterfly. This is outstanding, but then again, I've come to expect no less from a talented poet such as yourself.  "I loose myself within your eyes and pulsing bodies melt to one... here among the butterflies our legacy has just begun" Wow! Take care, Melissa Honeybee |

Wow, Krista, this was great! I loved "Watercolors sweep the dawn", and the last verse, and well the two before it... and the first three too... but especially the last three! This was great, I loved it sweetheart Abrahm Simons "Keep on dreamin' boy 'cause when you stop dreaming it's time to die" - Blind Melon |

Krista~ I almost missed this one... lol. I go away for one day and you go and post a wonderful poem. You just don't want me to read them I thinks... lol. Great poem Krissa. You always seem to make me quit breathing while I read them, they're so beautiful. "Even a fool knows you can't touch the stars, but it doesn't stop a wise man from trying."

Thank you all so much, I deeply appreciate all your kind comments. *Krista Knutson* "Cherish your vision; Cherish your ideals; Cherish the music that stirs in your heart, the beauty that forms in your mind, the loveliness that drapes your purest thoughts.

Krista~ Again you have captured such lovely phrases and woven them into a cocoon from which emerges the lovely butterfly. 'Twilight sprays a glittered breath As our silhouettes do fall... Shadowed doubt is put to death When echoes of forever call...' So pretty ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
