If the sweetness is really honey,
Then the taste will linger beyond the hour,
Through the balmy days and the dreamless nights,
Through the flower laden trees in spring,
To the fallen leaves of a stern autumn,
The richness of honey will mesmerise,
Churning the restless sea of longing,
Devouring...
If the sweetness is really honey,
Those afraid to drink,
Stinted by fear,
Shall fill their chalice and rejoice in it.
If the sweetness is really honey,
Then like musk from a deer’s pouch,
The fragrance will spread for miles and miles,
And the strange winds will blow on faraway shores.
If the sweetness is really honey,
Deft fingers will allow the pale liquid from the hive,
To trickle into a glass jar,
But its sweet nectar will not be capped or stored.
And, if the sweetness is but honey,
The lost lovers will soon head home, sated, invigorated.

'if the sweetness is really honey' the line repetition caught my attention and as usual the finishing touch is too good, I loved it.. I have written a poem in similar form comparing a cigar with a girl, hope you will like it.
