honey
Silver tongue
They said he had a silver tongue, but his golden words were honey for her heartache. The sweet balm took the burn away and this once, just this once, the words did not fade with time but lived on in truth and in the actions he delivered.
Honey moon
You looked into my face
but the moon
through the window
behind you
caught my gaze.
You saw my focus soften
and looked too.
Our honey moon.
May your dreams
May the colour of your dreams be golden
May their taste be softest honey
Hangover cure
Salt strength
Honey kisses
Sleep in slanting morning sunshine.
Or so I’ve heard.
I don’t get hangovers.
