Tenderly <br />I set the trap <br /> <br />with words <br />to catch <br /> <br />the flight of her <br />laughter. <br /> <br />Her laughter <br />flew up into the air <br /> <br />turned into <br />an enormous bouquet <br /> <br />each petal <br />a butterfly <br /> <br />until my mind <br />fluttered with each <br /> <br />delicious delight <br /> <br />and the room <br />became a gilded box <br /> <br />that housed <br />the treasure of her <br /> <br />laughter <br /> <br />floating out of <br />the window <br /> <br />until it touched <br />the stars.<br /><br />Dónall Dempsey<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/her-laughter-2/
