Short Candied Poems

Lips locked jaws 
jamming. 
Sweetened sense 
mounting migraine.
But sweet pain worth it....

If I were a candied heart
There would be no words to express...
The pain of losing...
you...

the candied glimpse
      the most inviting smile:
           so easy for the flower to venture.......

A candied feast
Laughter afar
Lighted pumpkins

Evil lurking

Superb to the nth degree
Pleasant to behold 
Exceptional in quality 
Candied with extra-ordinaries
Terrifically produced 
Above average by far
Crazily addicting 
Unbelievable 
Lovely to witness 
Ageless
Radiant...

Like A Cherry and The Cream,
You and Me set to be.
The Candied holded
the syrup for so many. 
And your smoothness 
Was an attraction for even more. 
Despite being two versatile integrants, 
Our sugar added to become sour....

GOOD LUCK MEAL

Hog jowl fried so crispy brown
Black eyed peas abound
Collard greens from the truck patch
Sweet tea down the hatch
Candied yams as well
My, do tell
YUM!!

Candied apples are too sweet for that scraggly wayward horse
What would this old dude know? His name is crow jimmy morse
myrtle ignored what he had to say, giving the horse a sweet that day.
She was glad she did later, for that night, the joyful horse passed away....

Candied dreams
are white flags
without respect
to this depletion
of anticipation. 

Commas are no longer
Periods as I enter
this complication.

Taking it for granted
Is indeed a certainty. 

With red wine in my 
hand, counting this as a 
Loss I am ready for 
Transition....

Folding this scented page within, an erotics book to mark... 
Her beauty, as placing it upon love's shelf; fairytales and fiction 
Reality atop silver dreams ? Bells tolling amid her world which seemed 
Sheer lace images that possess oneself candied obsessions, about a carousel....

Mama's in the kitchen
Frying chicken, golden brown
Smothering cabbage
Just rushing around...
Cutting out home-made biscuits
With a jelly jar
Telling us kids
Not to go too far.
Oven's breathing fire
for candied sweets
Oozing in cinnamon and
Butter,
And until I eat,
Not another word
Will I utter!

Ask me, candied bride, whose eyes so bright
They send me messages of love, each night,
Am I the dignity you wish to invite,
  The man, the sublime taste for you?

Ask me, thorny queen, whose divine sleep
Calls me to dream so wretchedly deep,
Am I the prickly sight one would keep,
  The man, the fairy tale you knew?...

Neath a moonbeam
  reflected pond
    dream after dream
      we vagabond

Through night’s follies
  they ride the waves
    stringed waterlilies
      a path it paves

Underwater
  mermaid’s whisper
    candied kiss spur
      luna’s daughter

The overcast sky wept quietly.
It’s tears joining with the Earth’s breathe.
Mountain peaks and ridges covered with evergreens
pierced the roiling, gray firmament.

Parasoled people paraded past shops, 
selling candied ginger and quince.
Road weary tourists bathed their frozen feet 
in street side hot springs
And, so, the day commenced....
