Long Live Love by Max Ernst


         demonstrable fit
   for a devil of a time
             your curves enhanced 
    when laid against mine
      salacious appetites 
  need to be fed
           no time to recline 
      we've got to get ahead
             in the confines
        all views are blinkered 
               thoughts spin tangentially 
     to be ruptured & splintered
              we rumba through movement 
      suppressed, compressed & starving 
devouring what's needed
         in this time that we're carving 
mapped body to body
   skin against skin
            aghast & accosted 
        but I still let you in
             physical pleasures 
   loosen the mind
        & that's why my honey
                  we are oh so often entwined

I've never called anyone honey either 😅 and of course I am an angel! When the mind needs a rest, physical pleasures do come into their own. Thank you for getting into the spirit of the poem and your honesty is impeccable! 😅😅 I'd love to call people honey and it feel natural! I use "sweetness" fairly often, which is along those lines...
