i.
What entices of the bee. Was the alluring scent, 
that was the allure of the flower. Was it the idea of honeysuckle 
that doused to soft white lips
and shimmered with sticky sweet nectar.   
ii.
yet experienced to its allure... 
    spread_
        spreading  
like a thread to its webbing 
as isn't it true even a spider consumes its mate? 
iii.
manipulation of love, stimulation as the drug,
as many fantasise on bated breath.
Beating the stanza. Burning in incandescence, like a  cigarette;
watching lovers burning in and out_
throughout, like a flame.

closest when feeding off the dying spark, 
 ...until we know each others  name.  
Levels of intimacy. Articulated by metaphors. I was inspired by a bee collecting honey with a flower, spreading its pollen...then that sparked the idea of  a flame (or a cigarette, that symbol of burning throughout of falling in love) between two, intimately or just the curiosity of it. As sort of a love ritual.
