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...

Sounds like CandyI love you
Sounds like candy
When it rolls off your tongue
So sweet
It's bound to fill my mouth
With cavities
I imagine you talking to me
I go word by word
Visualizing the eye contact
Dreaming of the way
Your voice sounds
I listen to your audio messages
Basking in the bliss
Smiling like the first time I heard them
Euphoric in the way
I can hear your...

No Candy This YearThe eggs had been colored
and scattered about
The baskets were hidden
the children to shout…
“Was he here Mom, was he here”
they yell from upstairs
“Come down and find out”
she says—nary a care
Their little feet rush
taking two steps at once
Wide eyes dart all over
playing their hunch
Living and dining rooms
they tear with a fever
No corner is safe
from the incursion of...

In Your Easter BonnetShe, in her Easter bonnet
Standing beneath the shade,
Alongside gentlemen in top hats
To view an Easter parade
Church bells ring distantly
Showy, white lilies sway,
Waving to sweet daffodils
On this springtime holiday
Baskets with chocolate rabbits
Jelly beans and colored eggs,
Are carried by happy children
Running by on pudgy legs
A whirl of pastel colors
Meant to delight the eye,
Like...

Chocolate
Chocolate is for me,
Color me beautiful.
Can dip fried bacon or,
Crunchy with lots of nuts.
Could live with pineapple,
Causing smiles everywhere.
Candy box is great gift....

Pick Line Magic
(Verse 1)
Remember days, back when we first met
Sunlight through the blinds, a silhouette
Across the room you stood, a vision in the light
Suddenly the world just felt so vividly bright
Like monochrome TV turned HD in a flash
Girl, you redefined my whole life's contrast, yeah
(Pre-Chorus)
Something 'bout you, girl, I can't deny
Felt it from the start, deep inside
Like...

i saw her in the distance
walking towards me
or away
illusions are deceiving
ghirardelli square to my left
the world of hope and expectation to my right
desire oozing like thick flowing chocolate
as she walked into the night
her step slowed
while my heart raced
the quiet of still filled the air that i swallowed
as she walked towards me
or perhaps she walked away

[Intro]
(Sensual R&B beat starts playing)
In the old world, where grandeur reigns
Luxury and opulence, the elevated trains
Royalty and high-class, a world apart
Where the elite reside, and the wealthy start
[Verse 1]
I'm feeling like a king, got my crown on tight
Maybach music playing, it's a royal night
I'm...

Clouds and Candy Raindropsas a child,
I perceived
the wonderment
of Clouds.
and elders
likewise contemplated
the curious celebrity of them
the solemnity of shape-shifting skyships
their charity of rain:
encouraging fruit
greening hills
irrigating joys
keeping
watch
around the earth
in as enviable
a perch
as the risen sun
or mystic moon
that guides tides.
sun runs
apace
moon whisks
its baton away
but Clouds
stay...
