"Honeysuckle"



"life is just peachy"
this is what she said

I was considering 
her nonchalance
how can people 
be all sunny side up
this late in the day
when roses have thorns
and seersucker’s dead 
my side was covered 
in Winter shadows

I was considering
all this and more 
when he came walking
through my door…beaming
like the Sun

Smiling like he knew me
Not knowing I was on the run

from another life 
packing a loaded gun

I poured forth a counterfeit smile

“Honeysuckle’s heavy on the bough”
he came up close, too close, to miss
“Here they’re beautiful, I picked these just for you”

He hesitated
I returned the kiss,
kind of swift

I’m thinking
How to replace a life sentence with Senryu

My mind’s full of bees that sting
Words are locked and loaded 

Trust is the thing
that’s missed

Bees love honeysuckle

my mind is rust eroded

He puts some music on, 
moves towards me, 
his slinky Summer skin all hot
his slender fingers moving 
my hair behind my ears whispers 
music and poet's notes 
my oh my, what big gentle hands he’s got

“come on babe, let’s dance to this”

my belly’s tied in knots

seduction
bees forgot

(LadyLabyrinth/2019)



“Licence my roving hands, and let them go 
Before, behind, between, above, below.”
