I and the Butterfly

My toes are buried deep in time
Grounded pulling a rope of chime
To sound and toll my aching soul
To rhyme my answers sort my goal.

To ring all corners of the earth
And all of life that’s given birth
To touch the infinite to its core
To find the truth of that and more

Go past the charm of phallic muse
To past the ends beginnings choose.
Over erotic dreamers ply
Past the obvious question why?

I seek the origin of start
Power of which I am a part
It cannot be another way
Unless it is the dream some say.

I may be just a butterfly
Dreaming dreams of human sigh.

...and soft the wing of spoken dream
a butterfly in flight of night
a moth, you say, but no, it seems
dark gives light to butterfly's sheen...

*smiling at you*
Once again you live up to your name...
sometimes all i can do when I read you is sigh.

There are so many clever cool lines in this reflective, wise eye write...
dream on Stinkylove...I hang and sigh on your every word

*WW*

sunshine.... love your reply

This and raspberry tea just for you and me.

No one should pass the charm of muse
for shouldn't a lass share enthuse?
A lust for that which soothes the soul
should be more than a dreamer's goal...

Seymour darling boy, OH MY This is simply stunning writing, utterly utterly stunning. How beautiful the words in this are, the flow is as smooth as silk, the phrasing perfect, and the timing is absolutely spot on. Without a doubt you are the best at capturing a thought in a net of wonder. Again you paint a picture with your words and it is simply exquisite, always you shine like the star you are

Life is sometimes a disappointment, but I’m never disappointed when I read one of your bright and shining jewels of wordy wonder.

Your writing is always colourful it’s like a butterflies wings moving in a kaleidoscope of delight among these pages of blue.

I should have known when I saw your name on this that it would be incredible and it is utterly utterly incredible I love it utterly utterly love it.

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh
