Sweet Honey Bumblebees

Josiah shrugged. "What do I know about poetry? Not much." Josiah looked down and realized he was still holding onto Dasia's hand. "I know you carry it. I know you wear the sun as a smile, filling everyone with warmth wherever you may go. Your eyes tell stories that could touch the heinous of all souls. Your voice is heavenly, like the sound of angels, and your scent is sweet, like fresh mangoes coated in chocolate and dipped in honey. I see you sit with the universe, completely oblivious about your importance to this world. I see poetry within you. I see it all around you." He leaned down to kiss her hand before letting it go.

Shrugging again, he stepped back and put his hands in his pocket. "That's what I know about poetry." Before Dasia could say anything, Josiah began to turn and walk away.

For those who enjoy a classic love story this is for you. Dasia is the sweet woman who lost her parents when she was young. Leaving her older brother DJ to watch over her.
