‘Bumble Bee’

Only one sting for me 🌹

‘Bumble Bee’

Oh-
How do I
Express
My love for
Thee-

Compare it
To that
Of a bumble bee-

With every buzz
Of being so
Free -
It comes pure
And virgin
From thee
To me-

Royal and rich
Each feeler
Does twitch-
Urgency
To choose
And fuse
With only one-

The love
It penetrates
Deeper at each
Rising
Of the sun-

A new life
Begun-

You carry it
So soft and
Knowing-
Stealing nectar
That’s
Overflowing

Fine hairs it
Holds the golden
Treasure-
Binding us
Together
Forever-

When love unites
And sting
Is
Stung-
You give your
Love for
Eternity-

The sting
Repeats -
No barb
To keep your
Love
Away from
Me-

Oh beauty of
The bumble bee

That brought
The love
From you
To me.

Excellent job of weaving many aspects of the bumblebee into visions of how a love situation progresses, making for a strong relatable extended metaphor. I love the way your language is light & delicate, similar to the way a bee might bumble along floating from flower to flower. Also, there's that understated threat of being stung that hangs in the air like some dangerous omen (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

Love has a sting that cannot be ‘unstung’- Thankyou for your time and your wonderful words I really appreciate it🌹

Reminds me of the concept in "Fame is a Bee" by Emily Dickinson. Sweetly romantic and so filled with love. I liked it. Lydi**

The bumble bee. We need them badly. Their sting. Allow life to grow and to expand. I enjoyed this poem dear Kelly. Thank you for sharing your wonderful words and thoughts.

They don’t die like the honey bee after the sting and they provide for their young and pollinate- they encourage life through love.. can sting more than once— my pleasure- Thankyou for your time🌹
