Inspired by an old haiku of mine.

Honey ... you
     Sweet on my tongue
          Licorice and almond eyes
              Dark hellos, darker goodbyes
                 Begetter of my sugar rush
                   Such corporeal candy crush
                    Thighs and sighs to heaven's hush
                   Lush, to wonder just how deep
                 Oh so slowly, tenderly
              Love me fast to sleep
          Hard sin, saccharine
     Very confectionery ...
My Marzipan.
