They had told me
I would find you in the woods
Under a moonlit sky
Making love to nature
They had told me
I would see you in person
Soaking in the sun
While dancing in wild ecstasy
I wanted to find you
I wanted to see you
To feel you
And when the butterfly glided by…
In its wings
I saw the color of your smile
In its pause
I heard the music of your touch
In its flight
I felt the span of your love
So I madly ran after it
While it knew nothing of me
I knew it would bring me to you
And I would catch you
…red-handed…

****Just wanted to let you know that I am in Bombay, and trying to “absorb” the change in tempertaure…it’s 90F here… LOLZ!! Will be putting up some pictures soooonnn… ****
How I write, is mine...How you read, is yours 
Oho!!! This one is good, really good!!! ‘From making love to nature’ to ‘catch(ing) you read handed’, the strokes are absolutely brilliant!! The second last stanza is what I consider best as far as poetic soulfulness is concerned… paradoxical imageries…. nice nice!
Wowwiieezz… you just made my day, Mihir, with all those lovely things you just said about this poem… thank you so much, buddy!! π π
and as I read through the Lovely thoughts, I got hit…red-handed…seems not so happy ending

Wishing you a lovely week ahead! π
dear and divine….. beauty has wings of silence……and silence will catch you red handed with divine…..love all
Beautifully said, Ram.. thank you…
Much love and peace to you too…
A beautiful image painted with your words.
(blushing).. thank you soooo much, Charlie!
This is beautiful. I love the images it conjures.
Aaahh… so glad you liked it so much, Myrna.. thank you ever s o much!!
Ah-hah! Caught you red-handed! (LOL!)
I like the fairytale feel of this one, Kavita. π
teeheehee… glad you enjoyed it, Eric… thank youuuuuuuuu… π
I so loved the poem when read it in the mailbox !
Suddenly i wanted to run along you behind the elusive smiles !!!!
And the image adds wonders to the poem darling !
Have fun ! and stay away from the heat π
Your comment was even dreamier than the poem itself, Nimue…. made me feel soooooo nice about it….
Run along, girl…. enjoy the sheer loveliness of nature!!
And thanks for the sweet words here, babes! xoxox
i like this A LOT!
In its wings
I saw the color of your smile
In its pause
I heard the music of your touch
In its flight
I felt the span of your love
somehow you have transported me back to a quieter, more inncocent time when things were not so complicated. the expression ‘color of your smile’ is one that stops me in my tracks as does the ‘music of your touch’…they cause me to pause, as did the butterfly, for only a brief moment, to allow the ‘color of the smile’ to be seen. this makes me want to listen to bob dylan and leonard cohen, two great singer-poets. you are right there with them kavita…great job!
Oh my my!! I am so happy that this little poem made you feel so good, and took you to lovely place, Tolbert… I am honored that you liked it so much.. really!

I can totally imagine the romantic n you liking this poem, Barbara.. π
Thank you sooo much for your kind words… it’s invaluable to me!
Entertaining as always K. Dug the transition in the last stanza from thought to action. Works very well in the context of the poem. Hope you have been well, enjoy the warm weather its 20F here and I’m freeeeeeezing! Take care,

Red handed- that was some twist..

Making love to nature is a beautiful line. I like to do that too. Nature always makes me feel like flying, dancing and singing.
