An Outpour of Butterflies

Flocks of feeling come to sit
On my lips that speak your name.
Flying round and circling--
A stomach full of knots.
When those wings begin to flutter
A heart racing does not stop.
As that simple feat of speech
Dares to pass beyond my lips,
Latches break and color pours
From those thin and fragile wings.
Contorting to my wishes
They do flow and lightly dance.
A mosaic filled with motion,
Frames my effervescent awe.
But somehow you still stay there
As I stand in swarms of beauty.
Wings a pounding, ever loud,
I hear nothing but their beating.
But I smile at their existence
And I breathe in scents of wonder.
Something causes me to ponder,

Do you see the same thing too?
