Essence of Flutterby

Another breathtaking photo lovely Priscilla sent me...was begging for to be written.

Shall I inhale you,

 drink you down to quench my thirst

will you give me strength

 to overcome and ease my mind

should I let you escape

 into the ether or follow you there,

if you should flutter by

 my soul's essence and tickle me

will it stir all those beautiful memories

 to refresh anew,

old photo's recaptured in my head

          now a dimly lit view of yesterday

pour me a giant carafe

 of your grace to fill my senses

it goes down smooth

           gliding past my heart

      hungover on your essentia,

flowing liquescent

              languidly whispering...

'I will always remember'

I love how you have brought you beauty into this piece, layering emotion so eloquently. I breath in your essence as it floods the space between what lies on the page and what comes from your heart. I can feel the timid step towards the risk of loving another, the knowing reality that not all love lasts, and the savoring moments shared, those small bits of time that we hang on to that makes it all worth experiencing.
Bravo, my sweet friend, my sister, my wife;)

Thank you for the inspiring photo, trying to do it justice...and those feelings just fell onto the paper. I am even fond of this one, sometimes giving birth is easier than others, this one just flowed and I thank you for giving me that beauty that is within your heart. You are special my sweet friend....glad you enjoyed this one. xxo

Nice. I feel like there should be more, but what more can I say? It is truly nice.

A really cool poem. It flows easily -- like water. It speaks a sweet and gentle and soft-sounding language. A joy to read! Thanks, Frieda. --David
