The Sign In A Landing

We read this and was thinking of a butterfly before seeing comp entry, great job and good luck in the comp

Thank you and appreciate the well wishes.

I love that this describes a butterfly, but could so easily be a metaphor for a love that meant something to you. It’s delicate in its brevity.

Thank you for sharing

So true.  Thank you for the comment.  Much appreciated!

I saw a little bit more here than just a simple butterfly poem. (maybe it's just me and how I'm wired, given where my mind takes me) I felt this to be a possible metaphor for a particular power exchange/dynamic, where the submissive, after making her well informed consenting decision, was still apprehensive as to what was in store for her; would she be enveloped in his caring sweetness or be subjected to his well honed sadistic cruelty? Both are heart pounding heady options and truly alluring. There's this beautiful, almost sigh of relief, that comes with the second stanza as reassurances are made with resounding awe and reverence in conjunction to tenderly declaring admiration of her body's spiritual 'sigil'...  

It's a powerhouse of poetry, imo.... brevity and potential for a wonderfully varied perspective, depending on your reading audience, which I deeply enjoy.

Again, welcome to DUP (I think I've already said as much if I haven't, than I apologize!)  
So glad you are here with us.

Looking forward to reading more

Thank you so much for the warm welcome and that lovely interpretation.  I felt it could apply to much more and I sincerely enjoyed where your reading took it.  As pointed out, we are often vulnerable in the hands of those we select and that can be thrilling and terrifying at the same time.
