Heaven allures us,

a scent of higher honey --


draws us to full height.
Poem "Het lied der dwaze bijen" ("The song of the foolish bees", 1934, Martinus Nijhoff)

Collection "Passage Passion"
Steve Page Nov 2024
Be like Pooh!
Gorge you way through
the gospel til you are full.
Relish its sweetness.
Feast on its goodness.
Let it so stain your lips
that your friends will insist
that your appetite is insatiable,
that you are incapable
of living any life
that is not fully sweetened
by the honey of the gospel.
Taken from a line heard at a Christian conference.
Marvin Paul Nov 2024
Honey, milk and tea,
As sweet as your vocality.
Misplaced songs like paper planes.
Like a music box retains,
Your melodic voice.
This clown drowned in your voice.
Your spellbinding sound.
Beyond fear, she is crowned.
A poem designed
With heart strings.
My letter are a thousand years behind.
Her voice charms Kings.
The eyes of an artist.
Like a ghost I don't exist.
Her voice a mixture of spices.
Words in a picture, prizes.
Wrote it for someone who never appreciated it.

The glow from early autumn sunset lays across my skin like honey

Golden light kissing the summer ferns, soft grass drowning in orange glow

The breeze is warm as is it holds on to the last of the seasons heat

I smile as it gently touches my cheeks, and twists through my hair

I let it take me and carry me along with the silver birch leaves

Drifting now as they dance and fall in the static air

So easy to lose my self in the turning of the season

Such romance I feel as autumn takes me along for the change
Maitreyi Sep 2024
When I was younger, it all seemed like play,
I bit my own tongue without knowing the way.
Tarnished my name, got caught in the mess,
Too busy chasing honey to notice the stress.

Chasing the sweet, I missed the bitter bite,
Blind to the venom hiding in plain sight.
In cold moments, I feel the regret,
The honey I chased, the venom I let.
Odd Odyssey Poet Aug 2024
Busy as much; busy as a bee
serving sweet remarks to a Queen
The hours are long, and we’re always
swarming with activity

Everyday business is always so sweet, and
even given a pet named— the retirement
package for it though, kind of stings

Every colleague of mine seems to know
what’s the buzz; and our clientele do carry a
good scent- something like flowers

…just another day for the life of a bee
