Local Honey
If you were a lilac
And I was a bee
I'd make us a home
In a honeysuckle tree
I'd fly to where you're planted
And get down on one knee
Then take your petals in my wing
And ask if you would be
My one and only flower,
Could it be just you and me
Who fed and filled each other
With honey from the tree?
If you said yes I'd take you
From the roots and so gently
Replant you in the center
To grow exclusively
I'd water you forever
And help for you to be
The most resplendent lilac
The world did ever see
Honeysuckle lilac
Would permeate the air
Surrounding all the neighborhood
With sweet perfume so fair
And in the dusk of evening
Just as the sun goes down
The final rays encircle on
Your head a golden crown
The other bees would notice
This lilac who's so fine
They'd swarm but all for nothing
This lilac here is mine
