Honey, you’re soft and sticky
When you’re sweet
You’re o’ so sweet.
Gobble you up, swarm towards you
Like bees to your blood
Honey, you're crystallised and shimmering yellow
Your juicy skin scorching in sun,
sucking on a blood orange,
I took mine to the eye-
Oh the agony.
Honey, you're thick and tempting
You stuck to the corners of my mind
Hung around me
like an umbilical cord made from rope.
Some say it adds to my weight.
I know your presence refreshes me
Honey, you're medicinal to the mind but poisonous to the soul.
Peer into my honey comb of thoughts
Pocketed, sugar coated and intricate
I remember only
Your attributes
Honey, you’re hard and glazed.
You caught a fish through its eye;
It left us both blind.
The bitter tinge leaked
On to my tongue.
Oh, this strange familiarity of regret
