Poem



Everyone has ample Apple Annie needs,
caramel candied covered heart cravings
But, at what cost 
does one pay the price to receive?
I’m holding on to my precious pennies,
keeping my copper Cupid thoughts 
in my Cardigan cardiac pocket
Always wishing lovers well,
I cherish the fond memories
of innocent days gone by
Age fades desire ...
But the sweet savoring 
of the first taste of lollipop baby love
is never forgotten

Penny candy love sold over the counter,
small beginnings sweetly wrapped
Penny candy little portions,
sweet tooth gifts licked fingers unpacked

The first kiss given
came puppy love nearly free
Bicycle racing heart dreams ...
Candy thoughts
that only cost a penny
Just a minor ego scrape from a bruised knee
One simple misunderstanding,
a brief falling out that was kiss patched easily

Asking for the first dance,
only came with a small price to pay
A tease from your friends,
an awkward, shy smile now and then
But the magical feel of the virgin closeness,
was a penny earned well spent

Penny candy Love received,
the peppermint price paid was next to nothing
Penny candy Love given,
the chocolate heartfelt offer didn’t cost much

But after bittersweet buys 
later in life,
what is the sour price one pays for losing love?
A penny for your thoughts ... 
what is the cloying cost one pays 
for tossing
their other half-eaten candy away?


This poem was inspired by the soul-stirring poem, "Fading"
from the talented poetess Alexis Y.
