If Love shalt blossom in the spring
like the pink petals of a dogwood tree
soaring like a doves feathered wing
soaring earths canvas to be free

If Love shalt kiss the night with passion
like the whisper of summers breeze
love may be cold without compassion
a turbulent ride upon the seven seas

If Love shalt warm thee in mid of winter
whilst flames dance in the firelight
warming thee like sip of liqueur
as you dream in breath of the night

If Love is swept with autumn leaves
it may burn thee like embers of blush
a memory a butterfly doth weave
painting the sky with wingspan brush

If my love survives within thine heart
thence thy love for me shalt never part

When you write for the man you love you leave no doubt of the depth and sincerity of it.  Lovely write and so refreshing to see happiness abounding.

a memory a butterfly doth weave

To find a heart within which to plant these thoughts,
Ahhhhhhh ... the essence of loving would be complete.
Just lovely, lady.

you paint a picture of love so brilliantly with those delicate butterfly wings, colorful strokes of words that would leave Monet breathless.
