A Poetic Tear

My butterfly has lost her aim
Drunk on nectar from my frame
Whipped her lips in flutter dips
And skips upon the wind in quips.

Erratic in erotic bane
A dance macabre that seems insane
And thought my nectar brews in true
The sweet of it has lost its coup

So now my petals close to night
Those nettles of the day and flight
And I am less in changing chime
The rhythm of my given time

Alas alack there is no knack
There is no path that leads us back
It moves in one directions course
From one and only timeless source

So when the silver shines the moon
Weave the strands a strong cocoon.

Your butterfly may have lost her aim,
but I know your moth hasn't.

A winsome read, dear Sy,
please, let me pour the tea
and we'll watch the clouds
as they scuttle by...

butterflies always fly away...its their nature...
tis the moths that are faithful

Your poetic timing is perfect..we went to the butterfly house yesterday...had 2 land on my shoulder.

I love you more the further I go ...

Yes, .... "timeless source" is comforting, you see.
Beautiful, very beautiful, dear Seymour.

so beautiful my friend. I am usually put off by rhyme but you always use it so subtly and skillfully - this is just another lovely example!

Sleep deep, Sweet Sonneter, cradled in a cocoon of silver lunar strands of love.

Alas, sometimes there is no turning back, but sometimes what waits ahead can be even better
