Round the world in an hour

Into the very dark of night
Awake lay I, seeking a light
Inspiration to write
Alas, a single thought bright

A vision etched in gold
On every wall of soul
A voyage of discovery
Amazing secrets unfold

Row, row round the hills
Anchor, walk o'er them peaks
Magical, the peaks rise!
Welcome the stroller in delight

Aboard the ship once again
Sailing south speed gains
Not the forbidden island!
But outskirts explored

(The drummer of the heart
Is failing his job!
Skipping on beats
What's with him?!!)

Round the world in an hour!
Rocky seas & storms conquered
Ship with the ten oars
At rest till next, safely anchored

The Butterfly

Gossamer wings
Flutter, flutter by
Merry on flight
This one butterfly

Escape never seek
Senseless she flies
In a gentle frenzy
A touch ignites

In quiet slumber
While she lies
Searching eyes
On her spies

Rudely awoken
A warm embrace
She flies off
To heavenly planes

'Turn'? A tingling
Gentle caress
Never from heaven
She ever returns
