Sweetheart, Your Lips the Only Honey I Will Taste a Collaboration With Susan Ashley

Sweetheart, Your Lips The Only Honey I Will Taste A collaboration with Susan Ashley 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, my dear friend, for your accepting my invitation to compose beautiful verses with me yet again. to share this new double sonnet collaboration. And as always, it was an honor and true pleasure to write with you and see poetic verses be born. This about an evil temptress that falsely accuses a man faithful to his beloved wife spurns her unwanted advances. Such that happened in real life and was a nightmare to have to had endure until the truth came out about the lying and crazy temptress. Lucky that her best friend finally exposed her for the liar that she was.

The truth always wills out Robert. This happens so often in today's world as well by those who become obsessed by love. It reminds me a bit of Fatal Attraction but in your case you were not guilty of betrayal. I loved the magic of both your pens in this collaboration! You compliment each other well with your creativity! Beautiful! : ) xxoo

Thank you my dear friend. I look back at my long and wild life/youth and find so much fodder for poems to be written. I've not lived a dull, peaceful and boring life. Never thought that in my old age my youthful experiences would be seeds for so many future poems.. At least something good comes from some of it, if any young readers profit by reading it.

Such a beautiful sonnet, to begin; "your lips the only honey I will taste;" such painful temptation; "My claws will hook you given half the chance, beguiling rumors charm with their snake dance..." beautifully done.

Thank you my dear friend. I see you noticed the evil in the verses depicting the evil temptress speaking. Such was even worse in real life and did great harm for months before she was exposed to be the liar that she was.

The triangle of love and deceit so well composed Robert. Reminded me of fatal attraction, you play with fire and you risk getting burnt. Beautiful collaboration. Tom
