Snack AttackThere once was a lad we all called him Mack
To carry his snacks, he had a backpack
While taking a snooze,
His backpack he’d lose
Somewhere, someone was enjoying his snack

The Funhouse Mirror's TruthThe Funhouse Mirror's Truth
The air was sweet with cotton candy, bright and pink,
a whirlwind of laughter before I could even think.
My little brother's eyes were wide with pure delight,
My twin sister's hand was wrapped so very tight.
My mother's gentle smile, my father's hand in line,
all in a world I could no longer call mine.
We...

My little CandyAlways beside me
No matter where I am going
She sits there she's watching
If my tears are all gone
Her eyes they are asking
Today we go home?
I wish I could tell her
What we escape from
Im glad she can't understand
We run from the storm.
Her heart is so pure now
Silent...

LaughterLaughter
I laughed with a Pride,
My laugh was lost with a shame .
Smile faded away like hot air.
Jokes where bad towards me .
Anger spread like a disease, disease that killed my laughter.
I used to feel the laughter in my stomach.
Where is my smile?
My life had changed,
Smile also changed.
Hateness became a friend.
Why it...

Carnival Nights
And the music played.
So glad we stayed.
Lights flashing so bright,
As day turns to night.
On the roller coaster- wind in your hair,
Games to win a plush bear.
They let the Ferris wheel stop,
Right when we were at the top.
Such a great view.
Falling in love with you.
And the music played.
So glad we stayed.
The ghost train where all the...

The Fair in My Heart-Ode to My Grandparents
I was just a girl of six or seven,
Stubborn, wild, yet touched by heaven.
Mornings woke with fairs in bloom,
Joy would dance in every room.
Only from Nani’s hands I’d eat,
Her love was warm, her touch was sweet.
We'd stroll through lanes with hearts so light,
The world felt safe, the sky so bright.
But if she left for work...

hitchhiking to marsWe’ll hitchhike to mars
on a rocket not a car,
so say your au revoirs.
We’ll steer towards Polaris, the north star
right through the center of the milky-way-bar.
See, the universe is dark and chocolatey.
Stars that glitter like multi-faceted gems,
are just shiny, yellow, peanut M&Ms,
take a handful, if you’d like, they’re free.
We’ll dodge the silhouetted moon,
which is made of...

Candy Apple BloodWhen we finally feel emotionally attached to someone, we tell them we LOVE them
When you finally truly LOVE someone, even the smallest of their hurtful words can pierce a wound in your heart
But what is LOVE?
Is LOVE a feeling we only feel romantically?
Is it a feeling we feel platonically?
Is it a...

GUM DROP PRINCIPLEGum drops are like Races of all people
Assortments of all shapes and sizes
Small components with sugar rush
Flavorful and tasteful
The end result being delightful
Feeling of content and well pleased
It’s not the color
It’s the association, acquaintance and friendship feel
Without the association there is connection
It’s the heart felt loving paying attention
Total experience of sensation
Gum Drops uplift
Relating to Race...

This Persian CandyFar from the homeland, when lips part to speak,
This Persian candy works wonders, magic unique.
The spell of Rumi’s verse, of Hafez’ deep art,
In distant lands, it uplifts every heart.
A potion of love rides this caravan’s crest—
Saadi himself boasts of its charm manifest.
Open your eyes, and at this threshold stay—
The Masnavi begins to tell your tale...

do you remember
do you remember
do you remember...
there were
empty stairways of two flights or more
the sweet aroma from the candy store
endless chatter floating free
from laughing people…like you and me
stolen kisses in the afternoon
on a borrowed blanket from another room
we lost all track of minutes past
hoping minutes and kisses would forever last
do you remember...
there were
raindrops falling all around
and we...
