Love Poem: The Butterfly

The Butterfly

Butterfly, Butterfly, Oh! so fair
On gossamer wings you flit on the air
Soaring serenely high up above
Tell me, please tell me, where is my true love?

With my arms wrapped around you
You started to weep
And the tears that you shed
Flowed down your sweet cheek

The tears I know, were to you quite a slip
But I brushed them away with a kiss from my lips
And the moments together were so full of love
They had to be blessed from the Heavens above

Like the clouds passed the moon
On the breezes so light
When we both held our hands
And I kissed you goodnight

Butterfly, Oh Butterfly unfurl your wings
Whisper to me a few little things
Was that last kiss an omen that came from your heart
Or the sadness we felt, when we had to part

The lingering touch of your hand held in mine
Closed a chapter of life that was Oh! so, sublime
I know that I'll never find love like we had
But my memories of you will keep me ever so glad.
