Melting Snow

Cassie58

fathoms deep in heart and mind 

resides a secret you won’t find 

he never was a made up lie 

he was a precious whispered sigh 

who wandered in my garden fair 

before i knew it there turned i 

when fluttered by Adonis blue 

i morphed into a butterfly 

a weakened creature i became 

a risk it was a passing whim 

he stole the strength that i once built 

inside my fortress safe within 

my admiration can not die 

my wings got crushed yet still i fly 

on melodies of love once felt 

when winter snow one spring did melt

    Ooh! Weave a tale of romance so fair I must swoon, yet tendered so daintily and with such passionate endearment I swoon again. Gorgeously rendered with exquisite imagery and delicious poignancy, thank you, thank you so much for sharing. I love it!

        Cassie you have outdone yourself with this write. It beams with poetic style and the meter is perfect enhancing the flow of what is such a great metaphor. Rediculously good.

          Your encouragement sorenbarrett is greatly appreciated, especially as my muse is so lazy. Many thanks.
