Fabulous imagery in a perfectly developed theme enhanced by meticulously impassioned metaphor, Jude. You pulled out all the stops with this one...and the butterfly was the perfect vehicle. Oh I do love this one.

Sensuality captured superbly with wonderful expression - I was poised savouring the wait for an explosion of passion to burst from the coccoon. Striking as ever, Panda :)

Butterflies and bees... or birds and bees!? :)) Gotta luv that silky womb... These are very honied words that are sticky with meaning, as has been said, with so many kaleidoscopic and rich varieties of possible interpretation. For me it is largely a mood poem, suggestive of sensuality and vibrant emotion. Love the consistency of metaphor and image, and the intriguing 4th stanza... makes me think of the powdery residue from butterfly wings that remains on your fingertips when you have handled them. Very pheromonal and hive-y. I think I have heard it said that bees, through their elaborate dances and pheromones, can communicate with each other from half-way around the world... Funny that Sage mentions the Monarch Proboscis... I nearly wrote about such a couple of days' ago... but it was a gay one, as it happens! :)) LOL Kate xx

Interesting how each mind draws uniquely different perspectives from what it reads and digests.
For me, oddly as ever, I thought about the air itself especially the verse:
You are warm to touch
Moving between fingers
Diffusing between fingerprints

Reminded me that in a world wherein collectivism in the west has been supplanted by individualism, that air is the only thing we share. No matter how close we are, air is always there between us. It is our shared harbinger of life.

Exited air with the innocence of the unborn, or perhaps, like a little bit of life inside a silk cocoon and all the sky waiting outside to be flown.
