![]() Butterfly Memories After I’ve left here, this place Will there still remain a trace A tiny element of me behind Just there, resting in your mind Would you enter in and call me In your dreams is it me you see A butterfly memory softly there Delicately sipping your minds air How long will I linger with you? Staying there silently, still true Will you follow my scented path? Wearing my memory as your scarf Chasing me through your heart Feeling the rainbows fall apart Knowing I’m there held within My memory leading you into sin Will I be there still in the night Calling you softly to loves delight What memories will float in you? Will you feel my touch all through? How long will you hold onto me? Recalling my taste flowing so free Shadows of memories recalling you To a butterfly love that felt so true Marsha ![]() Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Robert thank you so very much, this is me learning, and stretching wings. I am so pleased this all came out. Margie has been tutoring me in the art of graphics. Well and lots of other things too. I'm learning to walk, and fly, and it's because of my tutors that I am managing to retian some part of it. Thank you truly Take care Mushy ![]() Margie girl, and I shall be eternally grateful to you, for even though it must be excessively tiresome, you still manage to keep your temper sweet, and give me the help I so desperately need. Thank you so very muchly. (I don't know take a week of work and get press ganged into poetry slavery!) ![]() Take care love Mushy ![]() Janet Marie love, thank you so kindly, they are right though i know it's just I find it so difficult to be brief. But it's good for me I know, I just like to moan a lot because I wouldn't like everyone to get the impression that it was easy. ![]() Thank you truly love, take care as always Mushy ![]() Take back the hope you gave,- I claim Only a memory of the same Robert Browning |

Marsha~ I find I am at a loss of words when it comes to your work anymore. Seems I've said it all...but I'll say it again you are grrreat!! excellent piece you have wove here...but the line that captured it all for me is as follows "Will you follow my scented path? Wearing my memory as your scarf Chasing me through your heart Feeling the rainbows fall apart Knowing I’m there held within My memory leading you into sin" Awesome verse...loved the whole thing. Talk to you later my friend. Take care. Amy ![]() "A friend is someone who knows the song in your heart and can sing it back to you when you have forgotten the words." |

Pepper love, thank you so very much, I'm still growing, and I had to write this, after I found the graphic, I had to use it. And you know what it's like when you discover a new skill, you just have to try it out. Thank you so very muchly for all your support Take care love Mushy ![]() Circe love, you are so sweet to me, and I truly value you, but you do know that? Right! I'm always pleased to see your name love, thank you muchly. Take care love Mushy ![]() Melissa love, thank you so very muchly, more of my stretching exercises. And they do seem to be working, but I've never been the patient type, and I just wish that I didn't need to stretch quite so much. Thank you for the beautiful love I really do appreciate it you know! Take care as always love Mushy ![]() |
