Butterfly eyes

Shades of azure and green... a reflection from the sea... gaze across the billowing waves to glorious days of pleasure-filled moments wild and carefree...

The wind swept me into your arms where the sea 

and land met in a cove of mystery and love... 

as the scent of roses filled the air with an 

aphrodisiac of apricot liquor pouring from 

a fountain borne of ancient stolen moments... 

The sunset in golden and burgundy shades of 

passionate delight filled the night with notions 

of Arabian nights and fruit of forbidden 

appetite became the dreams of lovers as 

angels played music from a far off galaxy... 

Peace was as lovely as a thunder cloud filled with 

beauty and celebration of ancient lore... 

as the tide went out to explore the unknown 

mysteries of the sea bringing treasure fit 

for a King and Queen who once ruled the Sea...

Your poem has a way of representing the journey of being swept up by affection or sex or even food or other pleasures! You start with visions by the sea, then the journey takes off like a magic carpet ride thru a variety of landscapes & sensations, well-crafted for all the senses. Then this journey slowly returns to the original location by the sea with grand & dynamic descriptions that could be felt as the climax of whatever journey one has been on! *wink! wink!* Fondly, Margie

[Patricia Wedel]

dearest Margie... your perception always amazes me. I feel as though you have journey to the Sea and experienced the blessings bestowed. An older poem with an ancient tale that is ageless. You have released the Genie in the bottle. hugs, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

dear E... Is there anything more beautiful than
the depth of butterfly eyes... azure blue with
green... reflecting stars... I cherish your review.
truly, Pat

[Patricia Wedel]

the depth of Butterfly eyes... blue with green...
reflecting the stars...

[Einstein Noodle]

no ..not much more than that ... but we do have some incredible lizard tails around the cabin ... of metallic blue and green ;) ... and they are stunning!

[Patricia Wedel]

dear E... Touché !!! I have seen beauty in lizards also.
I had a pet Iguana ... named "Puff" ...
Love the song "Puff the magic dragon" 🎶💕

[Einstein Noodle]

big smile on me face right now .. i worked with a nurse that had two pet iguana .. both about 4 feet long .. they were more like cats that scratched at the door to go out to potty ... Puff is the perfect name in my opinion .. and the song is so epic 60's .. lots of memories there ..love and joy Pat!!! :)))

[Patricia Wedel]

Thank you E... wonderful story ... My son Robert's God-parents had a
pet Iguana who ate sherbet from a spoon... I bought my Iguana at a yard sale...
beautiful green with a personality! Later I met a young man who had an Iguana
and he took Puff to be a companion for his Iguana. May your days be filled with Joy...
truly, Pat

[Einstein Noodle]

you bought him at a yard sale!!! what a riot!

[Patricia Wedel]

Yes, at a yard sale in Delaware (in an aquarium).
I was visiting my relatives. He traveled back all the
way to Virginia where we live. My father's family was
from Hungary. I am a Gypsy at heart. truly, Pat

[andrew mitchell]

are these romantic images true of today with today's technology or just fairy tales, fables in flight. i wonder. a lovely write pat

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Andrew... I believe they are 'fables in flight'
"Coined by you". Thank you for a touch of
epic adaptation to my poem, Butterfly eyes.
truly, Pat

[jacob erin-cilberto]

love the paradox of "as lovely as a thunder cloud filled with beauty"
the juxtaposition of the dangerous and fierce, with that beauty...how love can be dangerous, yet so fulfilling...

ah beautiful...

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Jacob, you have my permission to write a Novel
using any of the phrases and words of the title and poem.
You have a way with words. With one condition...
That it be finished in my lifetime.
That gives you at least twenty years. truly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

Whoa. What a marvelous poem. Beautiful. seductive and magical. As the waves rule the sea, you rule poetry with the ebb and flow of romance...Excellent...:).........................

[Patricia Wedel]

dear Sami, you are so kind... "seductive and magical"
is a review worthy of a playwright for his own delight.
Butterfly eyes will mezerize .... Thank you for reacting
in a theatrical way. truly, Pat

[Sami Khalil]

You are welcome. ..)))))
