Hornet’s surprise

He made her cry
like an orange peel
stung her eyes

He made her numb
like a tangy grapefruit
bittered her tongue

He made her smile
like a ripen orangelo
surprised her lips
with a swell of affection

Beautiful construction, my dear. Great use of antithesis: cry/smile. I really enjoyed reading this poem.
