Honey

The word 'honey' can be replaced with chocolate, caramel, or whatever else you call your skin. This poem is a declaration of self love!

The feel, sticky fingers

The smell, sweet skin

The look, beautifully golden

As I sit outside I feel the sweetness from the sun fall onto me

As my body gets warmer, perfectly made

As I see people passing by, staring at my honey

I feel the pressure and deeper the honey goes

Caramelized wholly, no error calculated

The sun is my source of confidence

She looks after me, showing me her love every day

Caramelizing me from her generous fever

I take a look at my skin and smile with great pleasure

No longer feeling the tension of narrowing eyes

I embrace my honey, as its gods gift to me

Honey, honey, honey! Beautifully caramelized!
