I Need Some Honey

I need some honey.
I need its slow, sweet consistency,
Golden and generous,
To drip onto my driven tongue.

I need some honey.
I need its constant promise,
Bold and unfaltering,
To enervate my starving spirit.

I need some honey.
I need its bee-born regality,
Fresh from the comb,
To raise my blood sugar,
And banish my bitterness.

I need some honey,
And I wish its lasting love,
Could descend from the heavens,
And coat the world.
