She and the Bumblebee

Lady, with blossom buds in thy hair.... how fortuitous for me the day is sweeter in the shade of your presence; what tall stock thy stem, and flowered your bulb of precious petals, crimson as the weeping rose.... Longing thy eyes, and bright with hope so quickly we became friends, laughed 'til after hours, deciding the fate of the world, holding hands in some cozy little cafe.... pulling away.... quick blush smiles, the patter of rain.... two inflamed hearts.... But she wants to know what he wants.... (he does not know) but has grown lost in her eyes, and her 'gentile' smile (he wanted her to be happy)....) To adore her a little more, before she would leave and find Prince Charming.... But she said she was an ordinary woman, with ordinary needs.... a flower among many, waiting for her little bumblebee; He must take her pollen just so, and have none other in his flight.... and rest so buzzing upon her feminine delights, and crawl gently into her heart the leap of a King.... what a Queen to find ---- And educate the dark of his mind, she so easily (wonderfully) so displayed in the simplicity of a cafe, That her one flower among numerous found, what a fate in the midst of romantic bloom.... but I had flown no more (with broken wing) though buzzing, rested upon her soul (and poised an answer of a man with ordinary needs) (I, a little bumblebee....)

Dear Keith, You have so much wisdom when it comes to the nature of women. Most of us do prefer that our bumble bee "have none other in his flight." I sometimes wonder if men feel the same, but then I listen to Casey James sing "Jealous Guy" by John Lennon and I know at least some men do want only one partner. Masterfully crafted once again! (I've been urging Jack Horne to read your work. He'd like this style very much and is a Shakespeare fan.) Love, Carolyn

Thanks wonderful, you are too kind as usual:-) I guess William is coming out of me lately, my 'Liitlespeare' nickname is coming out in the wash! I do not know Mr Horne, but I read a few of his poems and they were quite good, I'll read more of his stuff when I can (been busy) --- I always feel guilty when I do not read enough of other soupers verse (there is great talent here) but I try to make up for it! Love, Keith
