Black Honey
by Richard M. Joseph III
Black Honey
Black honey,
Oh my honey!
I cannot forsee
Your melancholy.
Oh Black honey!
Thy name is Mercy,
Thy style is fancy
Thy step is ecstacy.
Black honey,
Oh, I am happy!
Thy voice is a melody,
Thy sigh is a harmony.
Oh, Black honey!
I cannot set you free,
'Cause I am always busy,
But I am not even a bee.
Black honey,
Oh blackberry!
I am so sorry,
Please forgive me.
