amor et melle et felle est fecundissimus - love is rich, with both honey and venom (July 2013)

so it is, so it be.

 

life granted me a boon, come to me, the honey.

 

not the merest of coating, but a power enrichened,

capable of driving out the slow acting, daily killing,

poisonous venom.

 

makeover, coverup of tears of ancient marriage-madness,

black swan hate disguise, her lies, venom injection of

coffee blood staining love pretense, now just scar tracks  for a

new boulevard.

 

the slow pour,  the golden russian amber intertwined tones,

tongue tasted, inside me now, revealed in slow exiting, beauteous,

mellifluous tears.

 

you dance with the stars, I watch you watching,

clueless that my thee-flavored tears, dance and pour down

my face.

 

destitute, nearer my God than thee, god blessed this child's life,

love gifted from sweet bees, late in life, flew from my computer screen and sonnet-stung me with antidotes of

love n' honey...

Notes

Writ Oct. 12th, 2012

Tinkered with just now, at the bus stop, on the bus, and missed my stop.

New stanza:

"Honey,"

Not the daily address of my man-erred woman,

Babe or Sweetie, I think are in my employ,

But having read this dusty poem,

It will be Honey, tho hackneyed and corny,

Of that, She will inform me most hastily.

But I will know, but never tell, the resonating joy

Unleashed when I think of this poem instantly
