Unrequited Honey. Oh, that unreachable jar of honey on the top shelf! So very sweet. So wet and viscous. So desirable and delicious on the tongue. So wonderful with its honey scent. So colorful and beautiful to view in the jar. Ah, the jar; so cold and hard-- Such a barrier, blocking one's desire To taste on the tongue And softly swallow with tiny imbibitions. All this is much analogous, with the same emotions, To my feelings when I fantasize About a special someone Who is so out of touch on an unreachable top shelf. Frank Maurer 29 November 2021.
