 With you I am strong Sending courage to reach out Leaving behind fear of judgment Giving me a voice with which to shout ~*~ With you I am finally beautiful From the inside...where it should start Putting a spark back into my eyes One to warm the moments we’re apart ~*~ With you I am free from pain Giving me wings with which to soar Gently guiding me toward the light Unlike anything I’ve ever seen before ~*~ With you I am joyous Soul of tears...now peace and dreams replace The currents of deep sorrows cease Sending dancing butterflies for me to chase ~*~ With you I am real Crumbling the walls of the past Tools to cope are tossed aside No fear that from you a stone will be cast ~*~ With you I am softly falling To an unknown feeling of lover’s destiny Armed with Strength, Beauty, Freedom and Joy My wings...My gift...all because you love me ~*~ |

~Butterflies Are Meant To Be Free~ (need I say anymore) me There are places inside our souls - that have never been touched. There are places inside our hearts - that need to be loved this much. ~jm~ |

I really "felt" the love expressed in this one...this is one very special man and you, my friend, are one wonderful butterfly  Michael Proust- "Love is space and time measured by the heart" |

Wow! This is beautiful Butterfly. I think Janet has summed it up best, all I can say is fly girl,fly! Fly high, and fly free! "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

Butterflies dc what a fantastic poem. Your work is always good, but this is stunning, beauty in written form. Clearly written from the soul, a perfect example of how beautiful your soul is.  |

Oh Butterflies ... this one really touched me. The one who has placed these soft and tender feelings within you, is clearly a gentle and loving soul to have brought out such trust and freedom within your heart. Can you tell I loved this? Very well done! Best wishes, /Kit |

BDC, Looks like you have survived my friend!!! Now into the bright blue sky, a butterfly soars . . . what a spectacular sight!! Wonderful writing!! LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |
