I still have your butterflies

He blossomed a whole garden for my butterflies to extract nectarine poetry.

You are a memory
swept off by wind
bringing pollens along;
of nectarine times
blossoming anew,
I tether these florets
into garlands of poetry
for they never wither
here, in my heart,

they're eternally fragrant
meadows of amorous flair,

you're a scented memory
often extracted in my tears
I adore, despite their void
despite their salinity,
'cause I'm ever grateful
for this garden
you've left behind
for my butterflies to visit,
forevermore.

It felt like a deeply scented garden of love...

It spoke to me of rich memories, of an enchanting love, sensuous touches, passionate times.
I had a very happy and euphoric feeling reading it. As if the disappearance of that garden over time did not matter for it had left the poet with such a boundless treasure trove of memories, sweet and sometimes salty, yet never bitter.

A love that like a flower faded away yet its scent was left lingering forever in your spirit.

" I tether these florets
into garlands of poetry
for they never wither
here, in my heart,:

~ These lines have such an eternal touch to them. I adored your words here.

Memories of a past love, still loved is eloquently penned in this bitter-sweet poem. A heart touching write which is also heart warming as the poetess walks in a beautiful garden where memories bloom like the sweetest flowers and the butterflies of love come to visit as the little birds chirp and offer their little songs to the poetess in a Wonderland of Love. Beautifully structured write with an equally beautiful title. Thank you for sharing, dear P.V. Lovely work!

This is a beautiful and creative way to describe a love that is no more. A garden created and still blooms with butterflies floating about even though they are no longer physically close or emotionally together.

[Poetic_Vixen]

So viseral and supremly romantic. That is what I felt. The visual aspects impacted all my senses.
I think in a word Fragrant.

[Poetic_Vixen]

I'm happy you found the fragrance in this poem of mine, I'm very grateful ❤️
