Swings And Wings

A butterfly lites on a rose

and knows

to follow the wind,
a leaf
and a stream,
life’s free flowing dream. 

I have found
in your eyes a lack of disguise
that tempts me

to think,
once again,
trellised gardens
and swings,

wings
that flutter
flower on flower
we pass the hours

‘till ours
is but the moon and stars
reflecting;

butterflies sleep,
roots toil in the soil
of infatuation
and dreams
surpass
imagination.
