Candy Poems

Fruits are the appetizers of life
They increase my brainpower
Show me love hour after hour
So I believe I now possess
Better word power!...Read More

He brought me chocolate candy.
I am allergic to chocolate.
He brought me roses.

I despise cut flowers.
Because they die 
After they are cut

He told me I knew you’d love this.
Whipping out a T-shirt I would never wear.
He must have me mixed up...Read More

I want to play but you say "shoo!"
So I left something in your shoe.

           I thought everyone liked tootsie rolls.

Inside the water 
where they float or sway in their rusting roots
are horse tackle,
buggies, 
unhinged parts of eighteen wheelers,
a girl on a tricycle, her bones still cycling in the drifting meld
circle squirrel and possum pelts,
The sludge of a dredging flow
tows...Read More

Mastications In One Movement


Lathering on the ranch dressing, 
mixed with honey mustard grunting;
these inhaling engorging souls are
finding the emotional precipice, 
high up and dangling,
hanging by french fried ropes, 
smothered in thousand island arrhythmias.
here come the fat waiters, 
pushing arteriosclerotic meat...Read More

Hot water crisis

Suddenly no hot water
We didn’t have hot water in my childhood
We had to boil water on a kettle
Pour it into a bowl, add cold water and wash
The vital parts.
It was when it was a communal bath, I discovered
Hot...Read More

They are on the final stage 
Of being in their Nascar cage 
Soon they will leave the Daytona sun 
And under the lights this car racing contest will be done 

After putting up with the rain 
It is time to...Read More

Happy Birthday, Great Big Grandson,
Now you're eight it's time for fun,
You and all your mates will get
Very, very, very wet
Once the backyard water play
At your big house is underway,
Water is your greatest joy,
"Drown-proofed" from a tiny boy.
When big boys stop...Read More

Candy little boy?
Can you help me find a lost puppy, sweetheart?
Words to lure innocent children
Often the same words
That lured the perpetrator
When he was a little one

“flawless and breathless
you’re simply divine-
for there is no love
like my valentine”

like a chrysalis your love blankets me…
soft silk of solace saved my sore soul-
for there is no passion greater than ours,
and forever has been granted long ago

safe in the moment...Read More

I thought about
giving you
one of those
little candy hearts
that say
"I love you"
on it

But I decided
to give you
my heart
instead and hope
it says
the same
thing

The trees were full of blossom
surely an early sign of spring
fluffy white and candy pink
what a wonderful sight to be seen-
the grass it was so green and lush
as if God had swept it with a brush
just in view a mountain...Read More

Marshmallow or caramel?
raspberry or peanut butter?,
sweet mystery in a box 
my heart all a'flutter 

Cupid has found me 
the sweetest heart, 
my perfect match 
pierced with his dart 

Chocolate hearts 
are so easy to melt, 
not so easy to break...Read More

MY MEAN PARENTS

My mom and dad are very mean.
I'd like to trade them in.
It seems no matter what I do
It's classified as sin.

I only want to stay up late
And let my homework go.
Well, anyway, it could be done
After I watch...Read More

"The Odyssey of We are Centre"



Where does he come through 
with his fishing lines?
Casting off metaphors
worms of vitriol
hooked and dipped,
he’s so green backed  
rolling in grandiose 
self published flack
unhip and seasoned 
with his tart rye 
swallowed for kicks
pulling deep...Read More

Walking My Daughter Down the Aisle

Wedding Day, Lake Tahoe, 2001

Walking my daughter down the aisle,
Oh how very painful that was for me.
For in all her resplendent bridal glory,
Only a lovely child I could see!

The sweet little girl jumping rope,
Or the...Read More

POEM " IN THE MOMENTS THAT WE KISS " by martin gedge

Reality check... I’ve noticed the
Elastic waistband has
Started to get even tighter on my  wife's pants ....
Only I daren't suggest she gives up candy -
Lets just say if she doesn't get her daily ‘ fix’ she turns
Uglier than the incredible...Read More

Chaos spreads like metastatic growth

In carefully designed manipulation

	Family therapy

The puppet mistress casts her chords

Feeds her prey with miserable traction

	Border lines crossed

Control is the trade she plies in glee

It corrodes and shelters dysfunction

	Emotional bribery

Responsibility declared abandonment

Regrets resentment sadness anger

	You make your...Read More

I’m no more than what God prepared me to be . 
What’s in store just candy and artificial sweets
No fruit in the food desert for king

reflections of my marrow seep 
into the mourning woe brings-
i fear lapses in judgement,
yet know the outcome will be
revealed in my disregard for my
immortality

an ivory skull pricks like an 
intravenous needle-
crimson veins no longer exist,
just bone turning to the ash
only...Read More
