Sugar Buzz
you wondered in
with a Cheshire grin
eyes made for sin
I'm all in
ready for the trip
next hit or miss
the spike of lightening's strike
not once but twice
blinded by the flashes
streaks of color found
the long way around
an unexpected place
caught me indeed
swept me off my feet
looked me up and down
face to face
close and secret
our eyes ready to devour
the first layer
caught right there
crashing through the urge to tear
stranger's arm to arm
in the need
the pushing force of a stampede
pull of a stranger's kiss
a punch in the face
force the twisting gears
the sweet candy taste
drops of colors
all of them
even sparkles
odd hints of tinted shade
smashed in whole
shapes of hunger
new an old
lost and found
touching me insane
lacking restraint
jolly ranchers gone extreme
falling the instant
lips collide
a push purely ravenous
a taste of cherry snow
frozen delight
stalking me dizzy
cuz a banana split melts quickly
sugar coma coming into focus
turning from the stranger
that salty shiver of surrender
still in his sights
a tingling of zots
fresh on my lips
the war of sweet and sour
promising kismet
wrapped in a kiss
I need a straight coke
and a shot of pop rocks
this guy is Cherries Garcia
with an angel's touch
cotton candy shades of blue
floating softly in the sky
beyond a dream
just around the corner
over the rainbow
lost on every aisle
gazing deep
into the icee machine
sugar buzz black out
left me
standing alone
