Best Kid In A Candy Store Poems
Pocketful of Hardened SunsWhen I think of what to write
often the ocean comes to mind
Endless sea of pretty blue
and stretched out horizon lines,
impossibly flat
Yet when I actually arrive
it isn't the sea that my eyes
take a liking too
Rather it's just below the waves
my mind does go...
...to the little trinkets
beside...

The Dog Days of SummerWe let down the top to soak in the sun
Now that the harshness of winter is done
As you let back the seat and put your feet on the dash
Saying, “keep your eyes on the road I don’t want to crash”
I truly must admit that I’m...

ManicureFirst off let's make it clear I ain't funny
And I don't start conversations out with bonjour
But there comes a time in every mans life
Where he needs a good Man-icure
When you hit the age of me on the same feet
It's time to give the old dogs...

Who Are You --- Not For ContestAs the hourglass gets filled with sand,
they take time to ask me who I am,
but who are YOU? to ask such a question...
Did I invite you into my world,
with bright pink signs pointing to my direction?

Why Do I Write Poetry - UpdatedWhy do I write poetry?
I am sure some people here wonder just why I do!
For my poems were once described as ‘simple’
And to others they are a pile of old pooh
I have learned so much since I started writing
Now I am flying as free...

Looks So Good and Taste So Good-Marriage is much like going to the grocery store to select your favorite fruit…What may look
good on the shelf? May have a different taste once consumed at home? As I walked through
the isles of freshly picked fruits where they all laid on display,...

TimeTick tock...tick tock...
life is counting down on your internal clock.
Memories which were as if they occurred yesterday,
turn to flashes of moments that seem to fade away.
People you once knew
walk by without a clue.
The times you once shared
exist as if you were never there.
Years fly...friends die...
and...

Memoirs and Battle ScarsErnie was a hell raiser
A daredevil of sorts.
He was popular in school,
A natural at sports.
A kid in a candy store
Is the way Ernie felt.
All he had to do was smile,
And every girl would melt.
But he had eyes for Sally,
The only girl for him.
She was aces...

SugarSugar by Kenny Davis
Of those of Ms. Suga
I often have, of her, the most tempting of dreams
Of the oh so sweet taste of her sugar cream.
Oh to think of absolutely nothing better
The sweetest taste of her nectar
To feed this urge, these insatiable needs
To crave, to indulge...

The 80's Became the Present AgainThe 80's Became The Present Again
On the coast of Oahu
here, I was on a beach bus,
circling a sweet picture
in my mind,
white sands, blue seas, palms,
rolling all along
in a candy store.
It was a beautiful beach setting,
a beautiful scenic bus ride ...
how can it get any better?
Three...

Most Loved LoveThis love is like nothing I've ever felt before

The way we laugh and stare each other

The only reason I fall asleep
Is so that maybe you could...
