Fluttering

I love that feeling of being in love, the effect of having butterflies when you wake up in the morning. That is special. Jennifer Aniston

How green could stay so green

ditches and creeks transparent

the sky still cloudy blue,

 

sometimes I see a hedgehog crawling

prickly away between the shrubbery,

but tomorrow maybe

butterflies will flutter in my belly,

I will see love flying in the air

 

today it’s the red that I’m attracted to,

at the horizon the sun is coloring

ashamed, my cheeks light up,

I make a star or even two in my eyes,

 

when you smile back the water is less deep

then I like to swim within you

and if I’m wrong

drowning in you

is not so bad after all.

I agree.
"when you smile back the water is less deep
then I like to swim within you
and if I’m wrong

is not so bad after all."
The above lines is perfect ending my friend. Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

Pain and suffering seem to take on a lesser role when we have love close. Very nice piece Rudi. And as always you can never go wrong with a smile and/or love.

Love is such a beautiful thing and wouldnt mind drowning in it each and every day but the problem is it only lasts for a short while and then we are back to the waves.

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Beautiful said, Cassie. Thank you for these nice remarks. Have a good day. :) Rudi

Yes
One doesnt mind dying of love
drowning in someone
in his picture
his eyes

till there is no more air

Winter is the season of fluttering butterflies

i love it so much Rudi

I just sighed

I love the obliteration that came from the use of "drowning" here, Rudi. You make reading such an extraordinary art!

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Your poems are very beautiful, no doubt. Your lack of punctuation is alleviated by the way that you collect and space your stanzas. It feel almost natural to read through your words. Instead of being confound to rules your poems flow like water. Your poems about nature truly benefit from this format, although an editor would hate it; I thoroughly enjoyed reading through a few of them.

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Wow, I'm verry touched by your words. I like writing about nature and his inhabitants. Thank you for your time reading my poems. :)
