Honey
he was sweet like honey,
and I craved a spoonful
with every bite I took
all the sugar cubes
never would make
the bitterness go away
quite as he could
the taste of him
sticky on my skin,
melting between my thighs,
felt like spring
blossoming petals
buzzing with rapture;
a golden saccharine thing.
