"A dream is a wish your heart makes:-WALT DISNEY, Sleeping Beauty"
What is yours, have you achieved your dream? Or are you still chasing the rainbow  for its pot of gold...and the butterfly for its fluttering beauty?
Inviting more entry for this competition.

Butterfly Wings
For Rosie's Mummy.

Butterfly Rosie flew away,
Flew far away from me.
She fluttered with pure velvety gentleness
Which my eyes were too filled to see.
My butterfly baby sings through clouds
With butterfly baby friends.
One day she'll flutter back to me
So I'll wait here 'til the end.
My butterfly baby didn't want to go
But for all that I clasped her tight
She slipped, fluttered from my fingers
And disappeared into the night.
Baby butterfly whispers "Momma please dont cry"
I'll be there when you feel blue
I promise to shine down and guide your way
And remember i'll always love you.

In loving memory of beautiful baby Rosie Aldridge. Who sadly gained her wings before getting to meet her mummy. She now lays with her brother Charlie. Both in the arms of the angels.

"Blind To The Me Others See"

Now I've lost the fabric of my dreams
It's drifted away through the unsown seams
Why can't I envision anymore
Whatever it was I'm still looking for?

And though my friends might never have guessed
I've done so much that needs to be confessed
I'm blind to the me that others see
Unworthy of the trust thrust upon me

And trapped within the endless phony seams
The essence of my art and of my dreams
Would I be better off without them
To be without a single apothegm?

Shimmering

Smoldering lips
like lava lavishing
valleys of life
laid waste,

and I lie here,
letting her
lie with me?

Truth be told,
an eternity
of learning
to be
her orbiting
moon.

Congratulations to Poetryman (JJ) for winning, and Strider as well as Souladareatease. The competition was about  elusive dreams and unfulfilled ambitions. The poems entered were stupendously good, and picking a winner was quite a task. Thank you everybody for your kind participation.
