The Man that could FlyContributor
I was hiding behind a tree to just get a glimpse of the most gorgeous man i have ever seen. jhcamero
Then he turned and revealed real wings, no not superman, no superhero here, but, butterflyzrfree
a holographic being something not seen. Rippling colour was induce
beautiful beyond recognition. Was this a human? A prism of illusion? Could he fly? butterflyzrfree
watching him put me in a trance ,wishing he would carry me as he flew.... angeroseblue
he changed to a violet~silver~blue hue and looked about as if he knew, my induce
presence was near and my charm was required of me sapphicmuse
Enamoured, as if of a celebrity, I, nervous, said "Hi" He smiled, then took off, levitating a bit and then spread his wings and flew circles, for me, incandescent in the sun. butterflyzrfree
I gasped, as i watch him fly around me and smile, and suddenly he picked me up. stillhere2008
"Oh my" i buried my head in his shoulder scared to look around as his arms held me tight, I could feel the coolness of his wings. jhcamero
I could feel the excitment build as i just had to peek, and than i snuggled my head back into his chest because i loved the smell of his aftershave and being so close to him. stillhere2008
But in addition to the fragrance of a mortal man--aftershave, there was another milder smell, BEESWAX! one of his feathers was melting off! butterflyzrfree
i lifted my head to the smell, aas he gently guided us back to the meadow. stillhere2008
Was it rubber? Rubber cement? Something was up with lover-boys wilngs. Either he's perfect, or he's not. butterflyzrfree
Or something time forgot looking further was worth a shot. induce
wanting to know the truth i pulled at the feathers with a yank and grabbed a handful laughing.this couldn't be happening angeroseblue
with sparks and purple rubber dust they glittered into reflexed air waiting to catch my thoughts induce
It was just one part of his beautiful smell, everything beautiful about him, his looks his smell his wings, but what about his soul? butterflyzrfree
He has to be cautious as he looks all around, before he attends to his wings he asks me to leave but i jhcamero
do not want to go i am afraid this was all a dream and i will wake up and you will be gone. stillhere2008
Of course it's not a dream. Winter did this to him. Why does the Spring not mend the faults? sapphicmuse
"Because I am mortal" he says, with a lustereous smile, that make my heart twinkle. Really! butterflyzrfree
"May I come back and see you again" I asked, he said " as long as you are alone and don't be followed" that puzzled me but i agreed. stillhere2008
After I spoke I wondered about showing my find to five others. induce
Before my thought was even complete, I heard more than one person behind me, closer and closer as I walked quickly to my tiny apartment, nt far, I tuned to look. FIVE! butterflyzrfree
five of the deadliest souls trying to get my attention,as my key entered and i turned the knob angeroseblue
I was terrified so i slammed the door shut and locked it but there they were standing in my living room, " how in the hell did they do that" my mind is on overdrive as i hear my mind yell out to him to save me stillhere2008
Through my skylight, he flew in, don't know how, but when they saw the wings, they dispersed. Angel-man then said, butterflyzrfree
quick it is not safe here, i will take you someplace those things can't touch you. stillhere2008
That was when the tree I was hiding behind earlier poked some fluro~green branches through the unsuspecting skylight induce
"That's your medicine" he said" You must eat it, and he wrapped me in his wings and raised me to the skylight where butterflyzrfree
the fluro~green tree extended a fluro~green branch in the shape of a healing mask, which contained induce
something to calm me down as i was inhaling the fums i was soon fast a sleep. stillhere2008
but i kept dreaming that people were after him and it was for the good. that is when I woke up and said jhcamero
nothing. An attempt to speak was transmuted into an utterance; sore throat, something the medicine couldn't fix. sapphicmuse
but he heard my scared and confusing thoughts and rushed to my rescue angeroseblue
my mind is all over the place but the one that keeps popping up is" why are they after you"? jhcamero
"They want my wings and without you my wings will vanish,' with that cryptic comment he began induce
"Because", this gorgeous man continued,brushing s strand of hair from my face, " For them to exsist I need love. Your love" butterflyzrfree
I wasn't sure how to take this, so I then said, " induce
i ....i.... i have never loved but perhaps when this is all over you could teach me angeroseblue
To which he replied, "Maybe you should take the honors course." sapphicmuse
rolling her eyes she replied it is you who needs me, but i will make an exception because your eyes set me free angeroseblue
then! cherry coloured lightening struck! from the sky and cupid all dazzling a rays morphed into induce
a tree and "opps i will never get the hang of this" as we laughed and laughed. stillhere2008
cupid's bow twang'ed the dang cherub wasn't impressed but still tried his best to induce
make sure this love stayed in tune...because it was going to be hard to explain angeroseblue
because there was nothing to gain. The man focused and asked, "Where are the butter flysz for free?", then induce
I replied, "they arrive specifically when they meant to, like Gandalf the Grey." sapphicmuse
then he took me by the hand and said i must find them...they are my strength. I asked him what that meant...he said angeroseblue
We must induce them to come. If they are not properly induced, the plan is a waste." butterflyzrfree
so we tried to come up with ways to do this....i had the best idea. we had to angeroseblue
"Find an Angel with a Blue Rose". he said "This is not easy to do." butterflyzrfree
we would need a description of this angel....she looked like angeroseblue
"Sexy, VERY Sexy." at which point she became extremely pissed. butterflyzrfree
the man flapped his wings to gain attention of the group he then spook, "I have come to induce
find athat exquisite corpse, which I believe is still here. We must ask Janet, the one with the camaro, where it is." butterflyzrfree
she may bring some muse and I'll induce
still be here when she comes back......it will be harder than thought because she has captured my angeroseblue
love. I know you don't understand this, but there is one muse who is blocking our love. Then she said butterflyzrfree
you better not ruin this for us....learn that there are many roads to travel but you belong on my path....we will angeroseblue
find a way my love, the muse is mad because she is not human and can never be with you, but she can stillhere2008
lead the bad men looking for you out of spite, we might need to get as far away from her as we can. jhcamero
It sounded like a good plan, though one with veiled irony. sapphicmuse
Ironic it may have been... he forgot such a heavy metal may stop him flying again~loving again, he breathed in deeply induce
and decided to contact one he knew from the nether world, in order to have her completely once and for all. butterflyzrfree
Until the fluro~green tree turned up demanding to know where he had obtained his induce
abilities,but he kne w he couldn't tell it to anyone but his true love. thats why they had to find the muse so they could angeroseblue
unblock the love dock. sapphicmuse
the secret life had them running to much and their legs were tired...they wanted to be free so they could angeroseblue
enter the other demention. That was where all of the muse' lay, and while all were his friends but Ragnar, there was one problem as she could not enter, so butterflyzrfree
they put her in a dreaming state....it was the only way she could enter the dimension ....they covered her eyes and told her to take a deep angeroseblue
smile, cough, laugh, burp! and think of times when induce
she could release all of her body functions ....that was the only way she could enter. so she let out the loudest angeroseblue
laugh out loud! which females for centuries had been warned against and entered the most induce
delicate part of the maze without him. she knew she had to be strong and protect his secret once she found out....she found angeroseblue
Ragnar had hidden something that may foil the love he was seeking induce
she couldnt let this happen..she had to find him. a thought of him would not be the last time she saw him. just then a butterfly whispered angeroseblue
'Hey, you yeah you! Alice butterflys don't talk, let alone whisper....', she sat upright wondering induce
"Well thats the wrong story," she said "I'm not growing big, or small, and there's no cheshire cant or mad hatter: butterflyzrfree
but there is a queen of hearts watching me and now she is calling me.....she told me to go to Induce St. making sure i follow the angeroseblue
laughfter of the man in love with the wings, whom was carrying some fluro~green branches from the tree induce
of misfortune...he was a crazy man and i had to find a way to make him cry so i told him angeroseblue
there were still butterflys watching...which made him smile and wish to converse with them induce
talking of a time that i knew not....i began to wonder if i was too late but thats when i saw my love lying on the angeroseblue
slab of the most foul goop i have ever seen, i wanted to run to him so bad but i was told, jhcamero
STOP AT ONCE, Ragnar will be on the watch for any wrong move on your part, this is what you must do: stillhere2008
call to him with your mind.no words must you use then once complete you will see the muse angeroseblue
of your full and whole hearted sentiment rubbing off like so many bark rubbings, it was induce
a magical moment when he heard my aching cry....i told him to stop being weak and angeroseblue
shout out something unique! Ragnar nor The Fluro~Green Tree would have no hold or say in this he had to whip out induce
something he was terrifed of and that was, I LOVE YOU AND NEED YOU IN MY LIFE, they were not prepared for this and, stillhere2008
where the butterflys would begin to whisper and write, they wrote all this down listening to the sound of what the man with wings had just induce
yelled out to me....i was so shocked i almost fainted in delight but i couldnt. there was one more test and it was to angeroseblue
defeat Ragnar, whom had the knowledge to cause a hate filled story and destroy love for ever annnd ever! induce
i could not let that happen...Love had found me and i wasnt about to let it go ,,,the woman with the blue rose appeared and said angeroseblue
'The five, hang on...six of you have a mission, this mission is to all take turns in this most mysterious induce
cavern you have ever seen. so many twists and turns just like you lives but once you have seen this and navagiated it you will understand that Ragnar stillhere2008
of collaborations. The end is in sight, my friends. sapphicmuse
thank goodness was said by all as they prepared to face the challenge....just as they were about to enter a mysterious cloud angeroseblue
a bright puff of smoke and purplish flashing lights appeared and it took them away in the mist to the cavern of marvel for them to find what it is that is needed to break Ragnar's curse. stillhere2008
a bottle of hennesy and a rope....we had to get him drunk and tie his hands and say the magical words angeroseblue
'butterflyzrfree' was one of the words, the rest were hidden under a magical gem of thought within a thought near induce
the middle of the magical cavern, shut your eyes and let your mind take you there to find, stillhere2008
the cavern called the mystical musical blindness where you must use your 5 senses to find the muse you need. jhcamero
as we close our eyes we can hear the music as sweet notes are dripping into our mouth, with the sweet sweet smell of, stillhere2008
hot honey.carressinf every pore in our tongues....mmmmm so good we had to angeroseblue
taste more but soon forgot why we were here and after STOP we all came back to what was left of our 5 senses and off to the quest again. stillhere2008
"RAGNAR!" I shouted, spotting him hiding amoung that stupid flouro-green stuff. "COME OUT AND SHOW YOUR FACE!" butterflyzrfree
He just smiled and said what is the magic word you should have come back with ? and it is not please! stillhere2008
He just kept smiling, we had to think of a way to get him to talk as the stupid~fluro~green thing had challenged his senses. induce
i had the best idea out the bunch...inject him with some truth surum or better yet angeroseblue
splash him with rose water, that would awake him and he will tell us whom he induce
he might be in with his bad muse andsleeping with her and how to foil her once and for all.... bad ragnar.. stillhere2008
whose mind we snuck in on hearing their thoughts to get the secret word which was: jhcamero
Wish I could sleep with that hato chick with superman. At which point 'Superman" spread his wings, let out a breath of fine and proclaimed, butterflyzrfree
Here I am, if you care. Take me down, if you dare. sapphicmuse
but Ragnar had one final thing to say to help this couple he could not split, just tell each other how you feel today and not yesterday or tomorrow BUT TODAY, NOWWWWWW. jhcamero
out of nowhere the words begin flowing out of both of there mouths finishing each others statements...he became irrate angeroseblue
I love all people I am a man of peace, was some tid~bit that could be heard over the trashing of fluro~green leaves! induce

Poem should have a bit of adventure, and a surrealistic story line would be fun...

Induce, at least I can see your face now when you give me the finger!You even look like a poet! I probably ruined this corpse with my spelling, More of a story-poem, really. But that's ok. I like it very much, actually. The biggest problem is my typos. Do you know how to scroll back on what you are submitting to correct the typos? The bottom stripe disappears when I am submitting anything.
