 ButterflyButterfly, kindred butterfly... my sweet little one, greet me with dewdrops on roses and snapdragons, rise with the tangerine sun ~ * ~ Butterfly, angel miracle feathered with rainbow wing waltz with windchimes in the evening to my heart softly sing ~ * ~ Butterfly, glorious beauty, breath fairy laughter and lavender dreams paint the trees with memories decorate the sky's ebony with starbeams ~ * ~ Butterfly, companion rare, flutter gracefully by my side wisely to watch over me forever as my guide ~ ~ ~ Butterfly, oh butterfly fill my spirit with heavenly splendor, only you can make my heart beat again only you can kiss it so tender ~ * ~ Butterfly, dear majesty follow the light to Venus' kingdom above, one day, we'll soar together there... upon the celestial yellow brick road of love ~ * ~ Gentle soulmate, elusive friend I bid thee good day with a sigh you shall remain magical as Spring moring mist my devotion is eternal like a butterfly *By Melissa Honeybee* The beauty of poetry gives my soul wings to fly free within dreams ~Melissa P. Monette~ [This message has been edited by Melissa Honeybee (edited 03-07-2001).] |

Butterfly, kindred butterfly... my sweet little one, greet me with dewdrops on roses and snapdragons, rise with the tangerine sun ~ * ~ Butterfly, angel miracle feathered with rainbow wing waltz with windchimes in the evening to my heart softly sing ~ * ~ Butterfly, glorious beauty, breath fairy laughter and lavender dreams paint the trees with memories decorate the sky's ebony with starbeams ~ * ~ Gentle soulmate, elusive friend, I bid thee good day with a sigh you shall remain magical as Spring morning mist my devotion is eternal like a butterfly ~ * ~ Butterfly, dear majesty follow the light to the butterfly kingdom above, one day, we'll soar together there... upon the celestial yellow brick road of love ==================== Oh Melis...this is so enchanting and lovely and I'm not just saying so because its so very sweetly gifted to me. Your imagery in this is stunning... and your rhyme choices are perfect... I know after reading this(and the other) that you have a very poetic butterfly muse of your own to inspire you... and this is a very lovely inspire.. thank you for sharing it me sweetie... thank you very much.   Some find subtlety in strangers some find subtlety alone Your eyes,you see everything my eyes,I see its all together now and I know. ~candlebox~ |

Oh beautiful! Magical captivating images. I applaud.  "Some people see the cup as half empty. Some people see the cup as half full. I see the cup as too large." ~George Carlin~ |

Melissa you couldn't have written this about a more special person....she's been a great poet friend to me and many many others.....I think you penned this very well.... Gentle soulmate, elusive friend I bid thee good day with a sigh you shall remain magical as Spring morning mist my devotion is eternal like a butterfly The poet is like a cocoon; in him the caterpillar of the past finds rest, and from him the butterfly of the future emerges.
