Poety to translate?

[Michael Adams]

I am learning to ask first, so I do not waste peoples bandwidth
to much..

Here goes: (two or more)

BUTTERFLIES ARE FREE: Oh sweet butterfly, so like the wind you
ride, to catch you is to know you but in this all I do is still
you and hold you captive, butterflies are free, to know the
currents of wind, to fly afar, never to be held by mortal
hands. For in the holding is the tragedy, for what are dreams
held but never let free.

THE GRAIL: I seem to ramble from place to place, never staying
one in any one place, ever searching, like a knight on quest,
for that grail oh so dear, so close but oh so far, almost in
sight, but never visible, I go on and on, until the end is here,
and it draws near, and I can hear the calls of angels sweet, and
I shall finally drink of that cup, so rich and rare a draught it
shall be, for in the end, the cup will hold life, and life is so
sweet, and to know this, I quest.

VASHTI OF THE FLAME RED TRESSES: Oh my dearest lady mine, for
your passing has emptied my heart, but the memories of you will
be with me forever. The joy we felt in our youth, the times we
spent in our middle years. The things we did here, there and
all. Friends we made,  times we spent, even when angry we did it
in love. How the feeling I do feel at your passing, for you my
lady of hair so red was me, and I you, a half has gone away and
left me with feelings of what now, not to replace but the
feeling of what now? Who can I turn to when I need love,
carrying, a gentle hand a soft caress, to be told I was wrong
and the love to show me gently. To be there for me, and I for
you. Bye my dear lady of flaming hair that lighted up the
darkness of my life, for before you there was darkness and now
what? Farewell my dear until that day with Gods/fates grace I
can join you once again, to walk hand in hand, arm in arm,
carress to carress, feel to feel and knowing we will be together
always..
