A taste of honey

Have you ever kissed a bee?

washed yourself clean in a breeze?

On loving lips I place honey

A wafting scent soon will tease

with liquid sweet and runny

kissing insect warriors, no need of referees

A very sensual scene painted in this metaphoric gem. Liquid honey, sweet and runny on a lover's lips, the scent of it inhaled and the liquid tasted as lover's kiss. A wonderful gift from Mother Nature to enjoy. Love the metaphor, alliteration and the excellent play with words in this proficiently penned poem. Excellent depiction also. Have to say, I have never kissed a bee, but love when bumble bees come to visit the flowers. They are so gorgeous. Thank you for sharing this beautiful poem as Summer draws to an end. I love it...

Thank you so much Marie I love nature and this poem although allegorical was inspired by a bee that took a liking to me and landed on my lips stealing a kiss.

Most welcome always, dear Soren. I too, love Mother Nature and thank you for sharing your wonderful experience with me of a bee landing on your lips to steal a kiss! How both amazing and absolutely wonderful! Little wonder that so special kiss inspired this beautiful poem! Thank you again for sharing with me, dear poet. A privilege to read...
