Long Candy hearts Poems

"Dead Crush"



Oh uplift me woman
if we were to have a 
conversation would 
bees fly out of your mouth
or just mewling, simpering 
watered-down honey
not so pristine, just soft
and somewhat 
ingratiatingly tainted
you ply uplifting
romantic notions
like an air...

Return with me and let me see if I can put a smile upon your face
To the days of AM radio and the...

“Race to the Pillow”

Thoughts of love seem to secure my heart in webs of roses pedals and candy hearts
The feeling of love my hide from my heart but the thoughts of love keep my eyes...

You've spun a cotton candy dream
and melted my marshmallow heart.
The pain you caused became ice cream
a brain freeze that would not depart.

Your tears like sugar on gumdrops
and and arms like hooks on candy canes!
Your hold...

Candy coated kisses
Candy hearts
Hearts made of paper
Hearts in love
Love is selfless
Love is a mystery
Mystery to solve
Mystery of life
Life is worth living
Life is precious
Precious moments
Precious promises
Promises of devotion
Promises of forever
Forever and ever
Forever and a day
Day is...

With sweetness 
Like candy hearts

Each piece inscribed
With a special message
Memories and moments
Soul reflections and connections

I've collected them with joy
Each and every one
Decade upon decade
Love and light...

I'm indulging myself by re-posting this poem from 2017
because it cracks me up and I thought we might laugh together

Marvelous mama moo from Kalamazoo
Puts on her lipstick and a bit of rouge too
Trying to get the attention of Bad Bill the Bull
He rolls his eyes, cannot believe she is after him still

Oh, no, he best not patronize me on Valentines.
If I must dramatize appreciation, I shall agonize.

Each year, he thinks chocolates will rationalize
spending his time guarding the sofa so it won’t rise,
while my cooking and housework...

Candy hearts speaking loves intent,
bouquets of flowers, fragrant scent,
chocolate treats taste so sweet,
romantic meals a lovers treat.

Cards abound in tender verse,
one day a year love’s universe.
With vows once made renewed, confirmed,
in offered love to be...

Valentine's Day in the Fifties
valentines with glitter
candy hearts with words
be mine
I like you
you are sweet
I care

decorating the boxes was fantastic fun
we used tin foil, crisp white doily hearts,
we did this during school!

Valentine's Day in the...

A close friend’s spouse each year would buy
A gorgeous heart-shaped box
Of chocolates meant for Valentine’s,
Not so unorthodox.

Except he made his purchase
For this most romantic day
On the 15th of the month,
When what was left out on...
