In ancient times imagination
Created Griffin-like creatures
Body of Lion, head and wings of an Eagle
Fierceness thoughts come with the features

In present time my imagination
A creature unnamed created
To express all my thoughts
When I think of you, as I do unabated

No Lion's claws, no Eagle's beak
But Butterfly wings sung
And a soft furry pelt
Puppy's loving eyes and tongue

So let your imagination soar too
As we kiss then feel the touch
Of butterfly wings, iridescent sheen
In caresses feel how much

Wrap yourself in my warm coat
Of softest fur, of ermine think
The creature gathers closely round
I think I may be part mink

Feel safe, secure from all alarms
Give your senses over
Puppy licks and laughing eyes
Think of me as Rover

Look back at eyes, see in the depth
The adoration there,
No falsity or slight of hand
You'll never feel despair

Know too you're always welcome so
Within my cozy Lair
To unburden and cuddle anytime
In my heart and so loved there

The first duty of love is to listen.

Mr. Yeats, I do believe you are asking all the cat lovers, butterfly dancers, and magic romancers to come take a look at this...

lovely piece...

I would love to find a creature such as this on my doorstep
