Butterflies Poem by Marvo (Andy)

In the park that no-one went to
we ran like children through the long grass
and the warmth of the sun
dried our tears before they fell down.
It was your beauty that attracted me
as I chased and tried to catch you
I ran with outstretched arms
but you still escaped my capture
and the screams from our laughter
drew strange looks from people passing
but we didn't take much notice
as we circled round like butterflies.
After what seemed like many hours
we fell down among that long grass
and as we kissed - I felt my breath escape
until it almost felt like I would die
then up again I ran and chased you
stretched right out to try and touch you
but my laughter took control
as again I fell into that tall green grass.
And as I lay there looking upwards
darker clouds were fast approaching
so holding hands we ran for shelter
and as we ran we danced like butterflies………
