A Sacrifice of Honey <br />Date: August 30,2011 <br /> <br />There was a raging fountain <br />Gushing sticky sweet <br />A menagerie of flavors <br />Dripping at your feet <br />A need but for a moment <br />To stop and taste the wine <br />There were no poison apples <br />Just honey sweet, benign <br />Cast off the pleas and whispers <br />And quick to turn a cheek <br />When all it took was passion <br />To keep the honey sweet <br />Fire it seems, is fickle <br />It can't be bought or sold <br />Denied the flames of passion <br />It turns from hot to cold <br />Love laid upon the altar <br />Left as a dying flame <br />A sacrifice of honey <br />Was paid to play your game <br /> <br />********************************************* <br />Copyright © 2011 Leria Hawkins, All Rights Reserved<br /><br />Leria Hawkins<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-sacrifice-of-honey/
