Why are human beings so fascinated with these two substances? Let me know what you think. I hope you enjoy :)
Blood and Honey
The searing heat of liquid gold
The ichor of alien veins
The trickle of nectar, imbibed by a bee
The indigo splash of an ink stain
The taste of frustration and salt in
tears
The wealth and corruption of oil
The rose scented perfume, released in a
squirt
The sweat born of terror or toil
Yet the liquids that enthral us
More than love or money
Is our fascination
With blood and honey
The symbol for family
Life, death and love
Magic and sacrifice
All course through our blood
The integral factor of every ritual
Used to summon gods and raise the dead
Prolongs survival yet life drains with
it
Food of vampires, vibrant red
And oh the sweet and cloying honey
A thing of pleasure, wealth and lust
Oozing, sticky, golden, runny
Squeezed from nature’s stinging bust
Healing wounds and rotting teeth
Glazing apples, toast and cake
Drowning insects who fall foul of
A dripping sugary aftertaste
Wine so old it’s brewed in myth
Laughing soup that thinks you’re funny
None compare and none can bear
The deities of blood and honey
