Two Queens Dancing Poem by Renee Marie

You are the lover of birds and cats and things that don't talk back
You feed and nurture and adore them

I am the lover of you

You are the lover of fairy gardens, flowers, and fruiting trees
You prune them to near perfection

I am the lover of you
distantly loving me

How does it feel
to swarm like bees all over the flowers of dreams
I wouldn't know

One Queen begs as another bows-out
and always farther
away

You are the lover of birds and cats and things that don't talk back

I was the lover of you
hungry for a sweet honey
left forever
stung
