My Lady Butterfly Poem by Roy Ballard

My Lady Butterfly

Rating: 5.0


Are you a dark moth from a silk cocoon,
the flower wanderer of the midnight sky
who drinks from honeydew beneath the moon?
Not so, you are my Lady Butterfly.
When we were straying from our proper course,
swept all awry by wanton blasts of air
you fluttered on your wings of subtle force
to find your flower and alighted there.
Whatever bloom you choose, whatever field,
your presence makes its beauty twice as much;
whatever plant with budding petals sealed
is glad to open to your gentle touch.
Ah! Lucky me that you have come to sip
my nectar and to take it from my lip.
