Honeysuckle begs
Come find me in the thicket
Taste my nectar sweet

Pick my sweet blossoms
Inhale my sweet perfume love
Seductions painless

Take ivory blossoms
To thy lips, drinking, tasting
Intoxicating

Honeysuckle lips
Kissed with dewdrops glistening
Amid the woodlands

Honeysuckle vines
Tentacles reach and entwine
For life's purpose cling

Honeysuckle grows
As honeysuckle strangles
Silently to death

So sweet, but with a bitter aftertaste!
Beautifully written!

This is beautiful and really draws the reader in.  Are you describing a love, perhaps?

Very sweet but with a surprising twist of lemon at the end!

Warm hugs,

Songbird, I was so drawn to this because I have honeysuckle growning in my garden. Yikes, your ending sure surprised me!

I loved this, because it did exactly what I think a good poem should do. Great writing.

Hugs, Marti

Thank you all, and yes on the surface it is just honeysuckle, but it is a love story turned fatal.  Merely fictional for me.
