Butterfly Dreams

Breathless whispers 
afloat on velvet wings
drifting on the dreams and wants
softly painted on the air.

Caresses felt behind closed eyes
send shivers over skin
electrified by longing from within
as breath escapes in feathered form
to drift with liquid moonbeams
beneath the dusky sky.

And in the waning hours
of a sultry summer night
as daylight dances idly
on a hushed horizon
she dreams  
and waits for morning’s kisses
to gently brush her lips.
