Languishing

Languishing a moments power
Like the blooming of a flower
It lets the sweet of odor fly
To catch a passing butterfly

It is a net without the lace
But fills a multitude of space.
It is a magnet on the breeze
That taunts the air with magic tease.

It sighs to it in silent lure
In the language of the sure
And brings it close enough to see
And close enough to land on me.

It’s then I feed it nectars sweet
The honey of a friendly treat
That brings it back each time I bloom
And leaves no time for endings gloom

What sweeter of a moment’s bliss
Than touch of a butterflies kiss

Seymour darling boy, this is again exquisite writing, I love the flow of this washing over my soul like a douche of crystal light. Excellent writing as always, but then you know that don’t you darling boy? Of course you do!

Butterflies flutter here and there
Landing gently without care
Pretty wings in constant flight
Decorate the air with light

But for faithful and for true
You know what you have to do
Ask the bee to stop and sip
The liquid nectar from your lip

Flowers bloom in scent divine
Call the butterflies all the time
But if you want constancy
You have to call the honeybee

Marsha
You know I utterly utterly adore this it is simply perfect as are you, superb writing excellent use of language and the rhyme and rhythm cannot be bettered.

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

     
  

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

Well, I have some raspberry lip gloss ...

This piece just makes me feel wonderfully light and content.  Perfect title for such a sweetly relaxing write.
