Fire Candy

A piece of fire candy I savor the spice, 
potent in your mouth prickling your skin; 
Every sweet taste is a roll of the dice; 

Inhaled by a swallow would never suffice,
you neglect the luscious center within; 
A piece of fire candy I savor the spice; 

Risky to keep going with this heavy price,
wild prospect throws me into a tailspin; 
Every sweet taste is a roll of the dice; 

Heat that flushes you once or twice 
addictive bite you snatch again and again; 
A piece of fire candy I savor the spice; 

Exploring the unknown is good advice 
wearing eyes that hold an adventurous grin; 
Every sweet taste is a roll of the dice; 

Unexpectedly leading you to paradise, 
following gut instinct is never a sin; 
A piece of fire candy I savor the spice, 
every sweet taste is a roll of the dice.
