Honey riddle/poem

[davidbenjamindix]

Greetings. I am completely new to poetry. I am a woodworker, beekeeper, pianist, composer, chef, and interested in many other things. Here's the scerario: I am in the middle of building a full-size blanket chest. I have designed a custom spring-loaded magnetic lock that has 13 buttons. Out of those 13 buttons, 5 of them unlock the lid to the chest, while pushing the 8 "wrong buttons" actually reinforce the lock. So, the solution to figuring out the 5 correct buttons lies within a poem. Each button will have 2 letters assigned to them, and you must press the right letters to unlock the box. "Honey" is the correct answer to unlock the box. So I am trying to figure out how to write the poem/riddle. I don't want it to rhyme, and I don't want to say too much to give the answer away easily. In fact, I want it to be EXTREMELY complicated, and I love puns. I think 6 or 8 lines of two stanzas would be just about right. Being a beekeeper, I have come up with a few thoughts. Here's some of the language I have come up with, and I will take any help I can get:
(the answer is Honey)

Breaks out in hives
collected from many sources from great distances
slave to thousands and fit for royalty (the queen)
chameleon through seasons (honey changes color from spring to fall because of the flowers in bloom)
converts under protection (protected under wax cappings)
trampled under protection
healer of wounds, but causing them too
term of endearment
loved
beloved
extracted
stings
sweet
Slumbers in the dark and deep ("deep" is common beekeepers term for largest size box to keep bees in)
inevitable fate to the horror or the Borborygmus (growling stomach)

I have never written a poem, and don't even know where to start. Please comment!
