Nectar.
Like a bee
in petals my movement feels free
for I view pleasure being unaltered
so at last I agree to look forward
at love's immortality
and can see
like an ant
rushing between holes in grain-sacks
on leaving former expected restriction
I race to abandon a passive addiction
and tasting abundance shall
not turn back
for like wax
softened by fire yet melting in thanks
I remember desire bound us together,
and death's potion will not last forever
if heaven makes nectar such
as we drank.

Your comment is as always much appreciated dear Andy - so pleased you found pleasure in this little poem.
we need to add this to a revised Romeo and Juliet edition
for all those first time, tear gushers
to be consoled
lol
lovely dear Fay, thank you!
'for like wax
softened by fire yet melting in thanks
I remember desire bound us together,'
so eloquent, so relatable
My sincere gratitude for the time you spend reading and giving such supportive comments on my poetic offerings dear Mek. I am smiling here at your opening lines.
"I remember desire bound us together,"
Ahhh, I literally adore this one!!
Fay, your unending wisdom and sweet words always fill me with delight.
This one is so beautiful, and so profound.
I think that even if death seperates us from our loved ones, our bond remains intact.
It's like this "nectar" that you are conveying, it's ever-present and ethereal.
Thank you for this gem
