Treacle Melts

Treacle Melts

Sail on sugar in the sweets
On winds of chocolate powder
And candy on the smack of lips

Kisses in secret caramel places heard
Over miles of creamy icing roads
Lift up my savory love

Whose fragrance is of pink and dreams
Of treacle melting on the tongue
And stories of flying fudge ships

Told in confectionery verse
By hungry children eating mints
Tales fill the air once more

Of fruit flavors sailing on 
And off the tongues of young ones
With hints of magic and fresh breaths

Good morning Dr. Mehta. This was a fun and quirky write for me. I enjoy the exploration of toying with concepts and images outside the ordinary realm. Thanks for your kind words. Regards, Earl
