Short Honeyed Words Poems

We have been coaxed by honeyed words,
Deranged by colonized thoughts, my sons.
Our sinews have furnished their bans
While we are submerged in poverty’s fangs.

You hold to each others’ throat
Nourished with daggers from intruders’ moats. 
Is this how you want My bloodline to end?...

The fresh scent of April is in the air;
a garden wedding and their sweet smiles bloom.
The sun drops honey from the sky so fair.
Soon to come is their honeymoon.

Six nights as warm as soft cashmere now loom
for the newlyweds, who are prepared to share
their bliss forevermore. The bride and groom
with fervent honeyed words their love declare.

As venomous as her snakes, 
Don’t let her honeyed words crawl onto you.
Or else you will be bitten to death;
She will tell lies in front of you.
Indescribably at her best manipulating the weak,
Her tyranny never failed to charm me; 
It surged week after week.
Medusa’s cruelty seethed all over the place.
The damned wicked gorgon is resurrected;
She’s one for the ages....

A birthday is a time for great rejoicing
for gifts of beauty from heart and hand untold
to laud with laughter ev'ry sweetheart's voicing
with prayerful words let life's virtues be extolled.
So let's, raise a glass and toast the summer sweet
with honeyed words and images from dreams complete
with Health, and Wealth, and Fame and ribald story
letting our dearest friends find morning's glory....

The Regal Ladies of Mt. Royal
convene every first Wednesday for brunch.
With honeyed words served up in pure oil -
accolades are drunk down like so much punch.

When flatterers meet, the devil goes to dinner.
and tastes opportunity for his gain.
Super-sized trifles spun by real winners -
a meal from which Satan cannot abstain.

Quoting this Spanish proverb:
When flatterers meet, the devil goes to dinner....

Vocal, nocturnal, creepy
Silent and sneaky
Binocular vision, sharp sight
They are active at night
We are asleep
They are awake
Our lives are at stake.
"Do not trap yourself into an owl's hooting sound where sad nights linger through the blackness of a hound".
Note.It's not the devil it's the People who work for the devil.
Lesson.Honeyed words and furtive movements are not risk free.
Moral.Police meharban to ulu gulu pehalwan....

there is not much difference
none that I can see
everything is the same
as it was last week

you keep talking your talk
and it all rolls out so smooth
coming forth like honey
what do you have to lose?

I'm just not that gal
you used to know before
I've gained a little insight
since you last closed that door

I know what you need
but the price-tag is too high
your honeyed words still hit their mark
and leave me dead inside...

If there are boundaries in my loving you that  must be set,
I'll put them in that place where sky and ocean blue are met.

If those honeyed words of you that from my tongue do spill,
I"ll put them in a box of treasures and take them out at will.

In dreams there are no boundaries and I may touch your hand,
And hold it tight throughout the night until the day commands.

When comes the final boundary before that shadow place,
The image that I"ll take with me is of your smiling face....

 Not a fortune, not a picturesque face
not prominence, not clout.
I desire none of these.

Competence, aptitude
a clear gaze that shows candor,
a heart that knows no deceit.

Not a man`s honeyed words,
not his lying sentiments.
I desire none of these.

Sincerity, steadfast
an embrace that reflect a pure desire.
a man that firmly holds my fragile heart.

I desire not objects of avarice,
nor lustful caresses.
I desire all things pure and virtuous, deeply tainted may they be.
