Local Honey

If you were a lilac And I was a bee I'd make us a home In a honeysuckle tree I'd fly to where you're planted And get down on one knee Then take your petals in my wing And ask if you would be My one and only flower, Could it be just you and me Who fed and filled each other With honey from the tree? If you said yes I'd take you From the roots and so gently Replant you in the center To grow exclusively I'd water you forever And help for you to be The most resplendent lilac The world did ever see Honeysuckle lilac Would permeate the air Surrounding all the neighborhood With sweet perfume so fair And in the dusk of evening Just as the sun goes down The final rays encircle on Your head a golden crown The other bees would notice This lilac who's so fine They'd swarm but all for nothing This lilac here is mine
