Bee Milk

There is lime blossom
On my tongue lingering still
From our fragrant kiss

Lip to lip at the gate
The first invite to the bees
Brimming me with pain

It does not matter
Longs as the lime tree remains
Stars fall at your feet

Blossoms are stars' seed
Desire twinkles them like eyes
Where my passions feed

Silence then was bliss
Absence makes now silent pain
No stillness, no kiss

And one whole today
Of silence drift through the clouds
Lime thorn in my skin

I want now to taste
Lime blossoms in your embrace
Bee milk on my tongue

Indeed, this tastes as ppoetry I really enjoy. It gives me as reader the freedom of interpretation, and I feel how it has links to my own life experience.
