A Moth Dreams Butterfly

This butterfly has colored the breeze
Has buttered the ease of appease.
Has changed the hues of my what and who’s
Has challenged the reign of my views.

She has thrown stardust over my mind
And rhymed it in a web of bind.
Held by hairs of my chiny-chin-chin.
Twirls me round in a spin with a grin.

I am helpless and hopeless in greens
Wander and wonder meadows serene.
My eyes a glaze with her magic ablaze
And I gaze and I gaze and I gaze.

And she whispers me a brush of lips
Like the nectar of honeys sweet sips.
I sit and I dream the edge of a stream
In the rills and frills of fantasies gleam.

Be there the moth that dreams butterfly
It is I, it is I, it is I.

==============================

Never the moth ... thou art the flame
hear the butterfly whisper thy name
With thy words ... thou paints Eden's dreams
baptizing this butterfly in Luna's beams

Thou art the wind beneath my wings
the reason a tired butterfly sings

and Oh how I love that chinny chin chin *L*

I come quietly sneaking in
just to see the thought and whim
of a butterfly-moth's serene replies
and to delight my sun-filled eyes...

I loved the flow in this poem, your pen is as graceful as a butterfly.

Seymour~

You can send a heart to fluttering ~
and we'll just blame it on your wings ~
Your cadence-kissed verses are a pleasure each rhyme ~
Time after time after time ~
