Day 16 ~ Pursuing Aphrodite

Oh thou Chalice of Heaven, give me thy hand.

Thy feet are the petals of roses, as silent as swans they glide.

The music of angels plays with the sway of thy rounded hips

Thy navel is filled with honey, where thy belly dips.

Honeyed breath escapes from your parted lips.

Thy womb is a pleasant pasture, fertile and flowing with nectar,

I come as a humble servant begging to enter thy land.

I have journeyed many a mile. Thou art a work divine.

Do not make denial of he who worships thine every whim,

He who prays for the jewels of thine eyes to turn and shine upon him,

And the burning bow of your smile to bless him with one superior smirk.

 

 

 

Drop

drops of honey
whispered in my ear

drop from a precipice
landing on my feet

‘drop it’ she said
‘i can’t take more of this’

tear drop twinkle
shining on her cheek

a drop in the ocean
with a thirty fathom splash

Cup of Honey

I went to my secret grove last night
where the trees grow fair
high in the hills,
where the stars are bright

I heard a sound
and turned around
toward the granite chair
You were sitting there
a cup of honey in your hand
and flowers in your hair

Though the grove is secret
it’s a gift that we can share
in the dreaming land
I made you welcome there

The Wisdom of Bees

her heart is so tender
a delicate pink
with a deeper rose tinge
where the petals unfold
there is fire in the centre
but the bud on the outside is white
she has her thorns too
I am glad of that
she wont be harmed

how can i not love
a heart that’s like that?
it’s a flower
it’s a rose
the rose that entwines
winding its way over my walls

flowers grow far better unpicked
and the wisdom of bees
is that they know the value of honey
while they thirst for the nectar within

Distraction

i write
she sits by the fire
stretched on a rug
smiling
i try to write
how distracting
how beguiling

the bees in their hives
lazily buzz
outside the cottage door
my pen drips honey
sticky, sunny, runny
not a word reaches the page

i stare at the page
keep glancing at her
remembering moonlight
starlight
firelight
last night
and honey
always more honey

Pan is out there
in the garden again
spreading his scent
in the air
the sweet floral notes
that play
with his deep musky darkness
wafts through the window

the silver bells
on her ankles jingle
as she uncrosses her legs
she is dreaming

i watch every movement
her toes to her thighs
they invite me
delight me
excite me
unwrite me
