Bedazzle

'Twas when he saw her flutter by
A shadow fresh from her cocoon  
  
The spiral speak of butterfly  
A flashing psychedelic swoon  
   
And soon she would bedazzle him  
By whisper'd soft her wing'ed love  
   
Her silver trails in garden dim    
'Neath canopy of limbs above  
   
A-quake, a-quivered Romeo  
To stalk his Monarch Juliet  
   
Viceroy, Skipper, Crescentspot  
Nor Marblewing to hold her yet  
   
The common Nymph he calls her not  
This Painted Lady, Chalk Hill Blue  
   
No Satyr, Emerald, Meadowlark  
Nor Sulfur, Milkweed, Metalmark  
   
Thus through the phases of the night  
Each twist and turn emits their spark  
   
Such faerie queen designed, delight  
Her starry wingspread orbits near  
   
He fair takes in her powdered scent  
This moth's exquisite presence here  
   
He follows her in moonlit gleam    
His passion-spent his destiny  
   
She's long desired in his dreams  
Till final breath in ecstasy.
