SUNFLOWER BEE She’s illuminated in a garden of sunflowers. The sun sways, with her charming momentum. He loves to see her far off, like a twinkling star, Tracing each beguiling movement, with his eyes. The homogeneous field takes on a honey scent, To which this buzzing bee, vaingloriously drifts. She waves like the wind, rustling summer leaves, And he imagines the warmth of her sunny hair. A sudden rainstorm lifts her laugh into the heavens, As she dances with outstretched tongue and arms, And he runs to her side, catching her up, elated, At the fit of her sodden dress, against his upturned heart. She slides back down the rainbow of her mind. Her honeybee hits one knee “Will you be mine?” A diamond glints under the love-soaked skies. She holds out her fingers like the queen of the hive. “I do! I do! i do!” she screeches excitedly. The sunflowers beam over her shoulder, Admiring the heart-shaped piece of carbon glass, The perfect cut for this lass, familial florid-niece. Applause, as the sun’s rays quicken in serendipitous flush, And two pairs of butterfly lips engage Eden’s paradise. 11/13/2017 Choose A Topic Contest: Love and Romance Unrhyming Couplets
