To Be Butterfly

Time is fragile,
Rife with possibility

I have grown and changed
Shedding layer after layer
The past falls away, in damp humility

Each cycle, a cocoon grew small
To a spirit of songs
My love belongs to your heart
Dipped in nectar I write
These are my love letters
For you tonight

I want not for vintage grape
Nor to be the enchanted apple
Wanting not to do over, or remake

This destiny is my birthright
To be woman, warm and strong
Little shields me, as in the wind I long

Warm and supple the unfurl of veil
You as the sky lay down above me
Come, if only you can really love me
And stay, greater the together of today

That I open my most northern points to the sun
Springtime more than I have ever done
To dip a wing in write, as if my lips upon your belly light
Though fragile promises are broken to be free
And bring the best of all that has profound integrity

As I am less and so much more upon your wind
In fragrant future, sent my kiss, exempt rescind

Wow Kathleen this poem is going into my archieve. I wish I had a women that writ letters to my heart as this. Love can surely fly within your sky with a heart of this. Well done!

Tels mots qui viennent d'un coeur pur ! !
Each cycle, a cocoon grew small
To a spirit of songs
My love belongs to your heart
Dipped in nectar I write
These are my love letters
For you tonight

Such tender thoughts Kathleen.

In the midst of winter,
I found there lives within me..
An invincible summer.

Oh, don't be a butterfly! Butterflies come and they're beautiful.....but when the nectar's gone, they flit on to the next blossom.

Come and stay. I don't know a metaphor for that.

This is gorgeous.
So much to give, and so much to not deny.

An unusual format in stanza construction, but why not. Love the poem, thank you.
