If Women were Butterflies

Perhaps the world should had been filled with poets and butterflies, then we wouldn't have heard of hate and wars but of mornings dew on the wings of butterflies.


Poem Artwork





If women were butterflies…
no garden could contain so much beauty,
no flowers could contain enough nectar
to quench of the growing chrysalis
they thirst for life,
no lover could ever whisper as softly
as the whispering wings in fly.
If women were butterflies…
our summers would have been
more enchanted, more bright,
because of their air ballet by breeze’s
symphony in the sky,
because the delicate movement
when quasi touching our face,
by an almost imperceptible caress
when they landed on our hand.
If women were butterflies…
we wouldn’t have needed to look up,
for a mother, a sister or a wife,
imagine on awakening mornings
through open welcoming windows
come iridescent colorful clouds
that like pieces of a rainbow
lands over our pulsating heart,
with the weight of an idea
and the softly whispers
from a velvet flame of her fire.
If women were butterflies…
we would have been better off,
surrounding with a cocoon our life,
with the maternal feelings they have,
where no rejection you will get
as long fidelity is in your heart,
then, it will be your life a garden
with tears of joy as rain in summer
or with winter’s purest whites.
Our world would have been better off
if women were butterflies…

This is so enchanting Georg. A wonderful tribute to women and butterflies. The butterfly is nature's most beautiful creature and I agree whole heartedly that we would be a lot better off if women were butterflies. A wonderful penning and so enchanting and heartfelt. Thank you for making me smile.

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love, and who love you, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love in my heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFUL SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your den sister, Barbie.

The poem, as a poem is outstandingly enchanting and stimulating, but the concept of symbolism here is not. Liness 18/19 on. I see a clear MACHO imposition right there. (LOL)

Thank you for sharing "If Women were Butterflies".

In appreciation,

Beautiful idea. I felt like a butterfly while I was reading. I guess it is worth leaving a short but colorful life, and being admired and loved by a poet.

... just the title alone is so beautiful, Georg. And the sentiments heartmelting, just like darlin Belle's poetic response which fits your write hand-in-glove. Ahh... but our kisses are butterflies, aren't they? Haven't you noticed how they fly from our lips and are blown on the breeze to land on the cheeks of sailors down at the dock? "There my love goes", the Captain says... "I haven't even left shore yet and she's kissing other men already!" :)) xx

Ah, Georg, "If Women Were Butterflies" you really pulled the beauty of words and imagination with this one, my friend. Beautifully said, however to hold a butterfly too long is to kill it and the women in our lives that are loved and love are to be held and loved forever.
Your friend, Mark

and if only men were oaks
strong, steady and true
butterflies would shelter there
between green earth and sky of blue
then tree and butterfly
would both be beauty blessed
she would kiss him with her wings
as in his branches she finds rest


Such a delicate and beautifully penned poem Georg. Just when I think you have reached an apex in your poetry, you write something even more beautiful than the last.
