Mariposa
By David Stanley Bell

 

Mariposa dulce
bailarina sensual
amoroso amante
ven a bailiar con migo

flames flicker upon the fire
embers dance and rise
up on sweetly scented smoke
to meet the sauntering wetness
of the night mist

she glides
free upon the moist breeze
that bathes and teases her bare flesh
she steps playfully
through the waters
tasting the river of life
surrendering to the flow

oh, what gods have blessed me
that I have found her
reclined upon the stones
mischievous green eyes that entice me
long silky hair that allures me
curvaceous body of a nature goddess
one with the spirits of the earth
oh, what a gift you give me
when you share yourself with me
we rekindle an ancient flow
we speak words
rapturous to the heart
touch, and we burn with desire
to rise and fall in waves of passion
moments so deep
they reach to eternity

then, bathed in a golden glow
radiant as the morning sun
she sails again
the silk of her wings
gentle upon my face
she flies free

such beauty, such joy
I've never experienced
like a dream
but so real
transformation
wrap me in gossamer threads
I feel her glowing within
the scent of her fills my senses

lush, verdant green
poured over hills
sun kissed flowers
reach out to praise the sky
with colors of love
colors of life

over delicate blossoms
that wave gently in the breeze
atop pillows of petals
adorning feather beds
my wings touch yours
we flitter and dance
with all creation
in frantic breaths of passion
we are reborn

Mariposa dulce
