Deep in my heart

 

Deep within my heart

 

 

Oh so weak, I lift you by delicate wings,

gently as to not smear the wonder

that does meet my eyes

 

Softly you rest in my hand,

exploring my skin,

the lines of my life, crooked and scarred

 

Tiny feet dance

tickling me with wonderful sonnets,

penned by nature herself

 

As if you can see

my intentions are pure,

for I long to bring you joy, which you bring me

 

A sweet fragrance on the wind

rhymes perfectly with your mesmerizing luminescent colors,

shimmering in the morning sun

 

Spread your wings my little friend

for I have planted you a garden

filled with the nectar which you desire

 

And I will sit and watch

silently as you float, happy and free

amongst the beauty that grows for only you

 

Deep within my heart

Its my pleasure :)

I liked this one because it was like flicking in and out of two realities for me. One where you were truly speaking to a butterfly in your hand, and another where you had created this personification that lived in a descriptive world inside your heart. Doubly good my friend.

[Jack...]

Thanks so much my good friend. Your comments mean a lot to me. You always seem to know where I am coming from...great minds?

[Astro]

Perhaps that is the case, but if it is, it is only proof that I should see your skill more fully.

[Angel]

This absolutely takes my breath away. Oh, I remember chasing butterflies in my grandma's garden when I was just a tiny thing. I think, in my mind, they were related to the fairies that lived in her flowers...
This poem brings back that magical feeling.
Brilliant piece, Jack...from a brilliant poet.
Thank you for sharing it with me, and making me feel like a little child again, if only for a minute...

[Jack...]

Angel, it is I who should be thanking you for your sweet and beautiful review of my work. If it brought a little joy to you, it brought a lot of joy to me.
