HoneyBee~

 

A silver lake

golden minnows

girl made of honey

in a lace sugar dress

boy made of smoke

dark licorice stained lips

weeping willows heavy with sunshine

protesting their nature

hanging branches curved into smiles

"A pocket full of sunshine." laughs the girl

opens her palm on a monarch butterfly

boy widens the caves of his eyes

hungry

to be in girl's palm

to be inside girl's pores

girl knows

smiles

parts cherry blossom lips

invitation on allure

a lure

he leans into the sweet perfume of her story

she strokes corners of his dreams

pollen rich on her tongue

giving him good pollination

the butterfly flexes a wing

her proboscis deep in the girl's honey pores

boy slips deep into girl's blossom kiss

her buttercup tongue

spreads himself like sweet berry jam

across her peach soul;

the Monarch gives girl side eye

"Honeybee," says the butterfly, "Ain't you gorged yet, honeybee?"

girl winks one long eye of emerald facets

lifts the butterfly between her brows

where in ink she spreads orange

black

and yellow hues

while the girl cups a pocket full of sunshine

drinks a cup of sky

her wings paper thin

but for now

still strong enough

to hold a world

she strokes her middle hive

swaying to the sound of a river

a thousand honey bees

weaving little chambers

in her belly

It must be honey...? I think you're right... This was pretty sweet, to say the least... I always feel like I'm reading faerie tales...perhaps I am? I think we will collect you, and share you with my future children, because I think I should want them to know the same magic I've had the pleasure of knowing reading your work, Ms. Selene... Another beautifully written and soul capturing write. You can do no wrong.

[Randolf Ramos]

This captures my imagination wildly. the imagery is so sweet.

[Nancy S.]

Oh, and I forgot to say how badly I want to be pollen now... tee hee

[Nancy S.]

Gorgeous golden hues, vivid with sensuality and the innate capacity of human nature to absorb and recirculate strong yet simple emotion. You paint this one in colors of youthful romance, playful wanton, and eternally hopeful human nature...
Need I say anymore to explain my complete adoration of your creative talents...Like the song says, Nobody Does It Better!

[DrSprinkz73]

Exquisitely briliant! You feed us with the words of imagery that has more than one meaning yet it's so simple really... your writing is of a supernatural thing and oh so magical :D

[A-Lovely-Anxiety]

Positively beautiful, unexplainable amazing-ness.

[FireWoman]

Intoxicating~ Youthful innocence with just the right splash of hope and wonder still mixing in the minds. I adore these writes they bring me back to the simpler times where my mind still visits, thanks to your prose.

Bee's use to frighten me and they still do. Wasps are the worst they have really hot tempers and they can sense your fear easily. I enjoyed this poem it made me feel a lot calmer about bee's. I do have a interest in nature but when it comes to insects they can get creepy. Beautiful and sensational imagery of the boy kissing the girl. The words you have used such as sweet berry jam is wonderful and I am a big fan of jam. Jam on toast the taste can't go wrong. My favourite lines "her wings paper thin but for now still strong enough to hold a world" I find it inspiring and the words flow heavenly

[Peter Joseph Swanson]

Wonderful!

[Bookmanpc]

now i have a cavity...i've read this one before i think...sweet and humurous...i like the way you weave words within the sinewy tissues of the readers flesh, and burrow them there in the marrow of bone
