Love Renewed The tentacles of my heart Stretch out to embrace The longing of your soul Rings of votive candles Line the patio's gardens Like lumenaria Lining the pathways As they seek you As our needs reach out I grow Butterfly wings With enormous Incandescence Iridescent Rainbows of hues In scents of Arabian perfumes Incensing the air Our pheromones Cling to the night air Take wing with me now That we may fly Lending the beauty of our love To this moonlit garden Show these pale roses That the magnitude of scent Compelling Comes from one loved Beyond telling Then we will settle there Beyond the last light Deep in the petals Of summer's last blossom To cocoon our romance To a snuggle lasting through the cold To bear witness to love renewed Continually reincarnated ~You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning. ~ Billy Wilder |

Bill, This beauty flowed so smoothly (except when I had to reach for my dictionary) You are the ultimate romantic, without a doubt, and express it so tenderly in all of your verses. This is about my favorite Liz |

I grow Butterfly wings With enormous Incandescence Iridescent Rainbows of hues ==================== Take wing with me now That we may fly Lending the beauty of our love To this moonlit garden Show these pale roses That the magnitude of scent Compelling Comes from one loved Beyond telling Then we will settle there Beyond the last light Deep in the petals Of summer's last blossom To cocoon our romance To a snuggle lasting through the cold To bear witness to love renewed Continually reincarnated ======================= OH MY!! this is enchanting ...kissed with soft sensuality and honest sweet desire ... soooo romantic and enticing.. wonderful imagery of the candle lit patio I do so like your style sir ..  I bet she has a constant smile on her face... poetically speaking..of course *winkiewinkie* later-butterfly-gator jm |

Wilfred~ Enchanting is this thought- 'To cocoon our romance' ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Then we will settle there Beyond the last light Deep in the petals Of summer's last blossom To cocoon our romance Bill--such sensual comfort in this garden of your making...very pleasing to read! |

"In scents of Arabian perfumes Incensing the air Our pheromones Cling to the night air" Excellent Wilfred! Amongst the beautiful sentiments and incredible imagery you've painted throughout ... I loved the lines above that bring it back to sheer chemical magnitism ... wonderful poem! Best wishes, /Kit |

Marge- I liked to fantasizie - that if we could metamorphasize into butterflies - why not be able to recycle again and again as chrysalis' ,butterflies and back - anyhow - made sense to me Thank you Martie - What better place to be cocooned - than wrapped in flower petals? works for me ~S~ thank you Kit - I've yet to understand the chemistry of the 'net - I simply accept it - somehow those pheromones attach and disperse though fingertips to keys - to screens to eyes - thank you |

This completely captures the essence of that rare magic called love, the kind we only experience one in a lifetime, if ever. Beautiful. Corinne |
