My day with you
pricks like thorns.
Tiny bleeding stings.
Numerous.
I despise the thief of sunrise
who takes with him the morning dew.
And you.

I knew where to get me free honey,
But forgetting one thing
That the owners do sting,
And black eyes from bee stings ain’t funny.

It stings the heart,
When you find out everybody is lying to you,

Evil gets eventually found out and destroyed.

hanging out of chubby bird wind chime

anticipating their stings, I walk silently away

I Don'T Feel Fear

your sound echoes 
when you're not around-
muscles tense- flex- i
am a reflex- all touch
is a trespass- stings-
breaks my wings- i don't
feel fear- i hold it
near & dear

Past Fade Away

In my mind I thought the past would fade.

But it still stings my sould like a blade.

I wish I could let the pain go down the drain.

But I cant and everything remains the same.

Premium Member sliver of my thoughts

I sit and I ponder and I ponder and I sit
Am I a genius or a nitwit?
Honeysuckle tree makes fun of me
A bee sits down and stings my knee
I feel less wise than a renegade tree
me
