Love Poem No. 61

_______________________

Butterflies

 

Can I put into words, this that I feel?

It came oh so sudden; can it be real?

I think that it must be because

 

I cannot shake it, no it shakes me

A gentle weakness, in my stomach

And in my knees

 

A slight trembling, sometimes lost in thought

Yet, I do not own this feeling

No, it cannot be bought

 

The child within me is giddy

 

I sought for reasoning

The answer, too, came sudden and oh so clear

This feeling cannot be summoned

It only comes when you are near

 

Early days of love bring with it

Joy, fear, wonder, and surprise

Now I know this feeling

 

Some describe it as butterflies
