Sweetheart, Your Lips the Only Honey I Will Taste - a Collaboration With Robert Lindley

"Sweetheart, your lips the only honey I will taste".. Bright heaven's night skies, in your eyes once were, agleam they glittered, gems as you danced free; my darling, sad you once thought I loved her oh how that sexy vixen did chase me! Her lies about our night trysts at the lake she said we did commingle on white sand; I know the pain they gave, was hard to take her vicious calls to you worse to withstand! I give you this, our hearts both love entwine your lips the only honey I will taste; my love-life’s yours, as only your’s is mine, so please, lets live and love, let’s not time waste. Your lips the only honey I will taste. So please, lets live and love, let’s not time waste! ----------- Temptress: "your lips the only honey I will taste".. My tongue tells lies to get me what I want and longs to taste the sweets of your desire, I’ll tempt you and your woman I will taunt; behold this tigress striped in passion’s fire. I have no shame in stalking you, my prey, my green eyes have you surely in my sight, I watch and pray that from her you will stray; upon you with my purr I will alight! If prayers don’t work I have a backup plan.. I’ll tell her of us when her back was turned - a sly seductress always gets her man, as if by magic when the truth is blurred. My claws will hook you given half the chance, beguiling rumors charm with their snake dance... Robert J. Lindley and Susan Ashley (a collaboration) February 13, 2019 Poet’s note: Thank you, Robert, for your gracious invitation to share in this wondrous sonnet collaboration. As always, it was an honor and an absolute pleasure to mix ink with you. Your rich inspiration gave my verses the passionate pulse of a temptress with tantalizing possibilities. Thank you once more, my dear friend, for a beautiful creative experience and for the gift of your wonderful friendship.

It is always a pleasure to receive your precious comments, Lawrence. Robert’s golden inspiration works miracles on my muse, we often joke that our muses must be sisters or at the very least, cousins.. lol! His shining verses led the way, as they always do :) Thank you, my friend. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan

My dear friend, your verses are dead on the mark for the way the lying temptress acted. I am glad that my opening gave you such wondrous inspiration and insight into the course of events that unfolded. Sad is it not, that such people exist and attempt to destroy other people's lives? Always an honor to write with you!
