stinger

Virus light.
Sweet appetite.
Girlfriend calling.
Breath appalling.

Twilight reaches
Waves on beaches.
Turn down the pillow.
Your bending willow

Wants to break.
Nature’s mistake.
Why she weeps.
Into river creeps,

Hoping one will notice
The water lotus,
Born from sorrow.
Always tomorrow,

To make the difference.
Just one more inference
About being needy,
For characters seedy

And hardened over.
A four leaf clover
Waits for its’ wisher,
Who’s heart, a fissure,

Has carved its’ hope.
Send down a rope,
They’ll know you need it.
Your fields are weeded.

Search for your seedling.
Just like a bee sting
Makes you feel special.
It’s warmth, a petal

Across your heart’s threshold.
