For the man who turns my heart into a butterfly--you know who you are.


You take my hand and leave me holding butterflies
Flittering wild and restless
Between our fingers caught
I see the teasing smile beginning in your eyes
Matching what you whisper
From deep and sweetest thought

Sudden heat of colour brushed like dust upon my skin
As if from dusty wingtips
I feel I'll fall apart
Your touch has softly woken from chrysalis within
Quick with frantic fluttering
Butterfly wingbeat heart.

Hold me with your gaze so I won't be blown away
On featherlight thought or feeling
Hold me here with you
With trembling butterfly voice, I don't know what to say
Listen to my lack of words;
Know I love you too.

It's so much easier to write than it is to say aloud.
