Past the silvery resplendent moon <br />Through the silken curtain <br />Tumbled gently the blissful breeze <br />Like the falling tendril of hair across the lovers face <br />And with her alights the beautiful dream butterfly <br /> <br />With delightful wings of gossamer <br />She flutters and flies <br />Dances and glides <br />Casting her divine silhouette <br />Across his mysterious face <br />As he sits with his head in his books <br />He glances up into the air <br /> <br />He puts out his hand gently softly like the whisper <br />Of the secret love <br />But she swoops away <br />He watches mesmerised <br />Absorbing like a candle the beautiful dream butterfly <br />As her presence illuminates his darkness with an aurora of stars <br />He sighs as he closes his eyes and when he opens them <br />She is gone <br />The beautiful dream butterfly<br /><br />Lilac Wine<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-beautiful-dream-butterfly/
