Cookies and Cream

I love you better 
than Cookies and Cream,
my lifelong favorite

more than seas playing footsies
with shore clams
in cuddly tropical sands

The warmth of enticing Caribbean 
soothing waters
                 
(billowy-sails...fields of overhead 
stars...night's complicit fireflies 
helping chart to a romantic cove
a beat-up heart seeking a paradise-like
new-start)

(a desire for tasteful, novel, cheerful effervescent 
brew, a need to leave on the old dock past that settled for
impure bitters)

( navigate clear of thought defacing
apps like Facebook's and Twitter's

that falsely entice, tempt   
a free-thinking, sacred spirit, to 
express living solely on a mindless
uncaring device – not a true life, just a
wax slice

not abiding complete, but in fact, 
manipulated into electronic defeat....)

Petals need firm attachment if to be
enticing blushing roses~ blooms for crinkly smiles, 
puckering lips and playful toes-es – 
                 
               Valentines of 
perfumed hearts made of hand-laid,
lacy type paper, crafted by flirty eyes
in agreement with pheromone receptive 
noses
                                           
         A softly played harp...a bower of flowers...                     
Back lathering showers shared – which 
requires a minimum of two daring 
hearts...wantonly, lovingly paired – 

Love is always trumpeted, openly, fondly, vociferously
musically declared....

Indeed I jest!! Love Valsa's beautiful and inspiring comment, and your playful intuitiveness. If there is one outstanding, redeeming quality about Cyber Space, it is poetry...having the ability to transcend most banal burps put to phrase when less intelligently regulated our souls.

What a wonderful expression of the romantic love you feel and how powerfully you have depicted it. I see the need for 'two hearts wantonly, lovingly paired'. Face book and twitter cannot create intimacy, but can falsely entice. Agree with you perfectly. Simply stupendous, dear Joe.

Creative work you have penned in this one. I wonder if a love affair started on an island somewhere would be a true love. Thanks for sharing this one and for dropping by my page. Sara

I don't know. Good question? Lots of divorces in cities that I can attest to to:) Thank you, Sara.

In my old age and widowed, I have to prefer cookies and creams. Don't tell my doctor :)
