smiling with the butterflies
laughter enlights her cobalt eyes
glance ecstasy personified
in barefoot dancing pale levi's
. as outside silent night sweeps by
. in duvet slumbers dreams i lie
. where years desires carefree fly
. till dawning's kiss
. of sweet goodbye
each motion making mockery
a passion hence denied in me
till lovers final harmony
enraged my thundering timpani
. as outside silent night sweeps by
. quiet calls a stifled cry
. memory time cannot deny
. of dawnings kiss
. and last goodbye

Perfection on a piece of paper. I'm quite taken aback from the beauty in it from the first word till the last.

Nostalgic, emotional from the beginning to the end. Enjoyed the reading.
Thank you for reading me. Always good to see poetic friends enjoying a piece which fell onto the page for me.
Great write Dusk. Enjoyed seeing an orchestral percussion instrument make its way into your poem.
I hope the climactic sexual timpani sensation isn't something Thanks for your appreciation.
No worries Dusk - it doesn’t offend me.
No offense intended whatsoever. As we are all created in the likeness of god we share his sexuality.
Although God’s ability to create transcends human sexuality, faith and reason both affirm that our earthly, sexual drives originate from God and so yes, I agree with you, we share in God’s creative efforts when we procreate new life within sacramental marriage; it’s up to each one of us to use our drives according to God’s plan for human flourishing.
LOL that's god's apparent plan - written by a man not a God. Probably for the purpose of gaining corrupt influence over the masses as we witness with contemporary religions.
Weird that you regard sex as only being OK when used for procreation. I hope you don't regard other kinds of sexual activity as a 'sin' - another man made concept.
Yes Dusk, as shocking as this is to the current culture, the Catholic Church teaches that outside of marriage; a marriage between one man and one woman; sex is a sin.
Catholic church is having to admit that it is a corrupt organisation these days. Not only for it's peadophile activities but also witholding information about its peadophile activities to protect it's employees. They definitely seem to know a lot about 'sin'.

The Church, throughout her history, has consisted of both sinners and saints. What you mention are indeed despicable acts of abuse: cases of pediphilia but even more cases of homosexual acts against vulnerable young men and seminarians. The Church is rightfuly concerned and is undergoing a cleansing process. I’m appalled by it all. That said, clearly my faith is in the Church Christ left us some two-thousand years ago. We have more than enough good priests, religious, and lay people today that are competent and holy enough to extend God’s Kingdom as Christ intends.
I can not tell a lie... this was thoroughly enjoyed... a delicious little read on my return to these shores and true...
interesting, tell me ..when did you last see a butterfly smile
Never, the opening line is about smiling in the presence of the little winged beauties. It's a dream sequence.
One would hope that having reached maturity from maggot and pupae stage, the little critters were a tad on the happy side - till some beautiful passing bird makes a meal of them. Makes 'dressing up for dinner' take on a whole new hue.
phew.. relief.. I thought some one had dropped an acid tab in ya coffee...
Lovely flow to your words 🙂
