~LOVE ONLY BELONGS TO BUTTERFLIES~ Breathtaking butterfly cast spells with her charm and plays within the vast land of dreams wings-a-flutter catch the admiration of sunbeams and steals the heartbeat away from daisies and cherry-wood trees longing for her to sweep across their soul's essence for a moment's ecstasy to touch her marvelous form forever romanced by that of the butterfly she captivates all as she glides by with her mystical chiming melody for she's painted in brilliant hue - pastel rainbow feathers of wings architected in dazzling detail with the Creator's heavenly paintbrush of sparkle, the embodiment of all that is perfect and beautiful, never a tear will she shed, never a pain will she feel, never a sorrow will she cry out, her gown of loveliness guarantees it so, which only serves as a reminder to those less fortunate with scarred spirits, broken bodies and ravaged faces lacking in the elegant graces of a butterfly and so it goes that ugly ducklings never become silken swans to remain alone under charcoal weeping clouds and sullen grey skies for, love only belongs to butterflies *By Melissa Honeybee* The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams |

Melissa, You have portrayed the elegance of the butterfly beautifully my friend!! They are such magnificent creatures and a joy to watch. Great writing!  Lone Wolf 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 |

Thank you everyone for your kind replies, I tried to show how beautiful the butterfly "seems to be" as a metaphor compared to those who were born as moths who shall never feel love and the bitterness of never being that "butterfly" Take care, Melissa Honeybee The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams |

Melis, this is a very beautiful poem... wonderful imagery from your pen.. many well expressed emotions here.. but i wish to say... all "creatures" are beautiful and special in their own way.. a "plain moth" looks very attractive to another moth... just as a honeybee...looks mighty sweet to another bee *winkwink* loved this poem... even tho the last lines are very sad. take care jm |

Now why do you suppose that a moth has that same pastel velvet touch on it's wings and flies to "LIGHT" up the night as opposed to just shining in the sun. HHHHmmmmm....could it be that the butterfly may shine when put in the light but even in darkness the moth shows it's colors and heart. Just a thought to leave you with. Loved the penning and the thought that went into it. Now our little "moth" tis time for you to "light" up the skies once more with your beauty. |
