Purple flames suckle their sweet tooth and lick at the 
candy-apple siding of a three story pear tree....

A cacophony of mockingbirds
Waiting with baited breath
Pacing each other,
In this candy apple sky and
Chasing this morning glory...

candy apple lips
thick and wet
imperceptible saliva dripping off the side
in subtle ways
moist and Rubenesque
I cannot tear my eyes away
wondering how she looks this luscious?...

Candy apple red throat
Coughing is a challenge
And breathing is out of the question
If you could scream
I would soothe you
But your inability to enunciate
Will lead you to your loss of life...

By the Hollow tree and washingtion by the cherry tree
and God by the red candy apple tree, at the affair the
country affair, the kissing booth at the country affair that
is, and in Paradise someone roll the dice and kissing
allow in the good old usofa...

Blest harvest time's here
orchard trees, covered in red
Candy apple sun
A cool wind goes by briskly
and soon stars are in my eyes

Wild fruit, ripe and sweet
falls in shadows of summer
crisp, shiny and rich
and when the sun sets so red
traces of the hue linger...

Tiny tiny feet
Bound by a millennium and
1966
Swirling in candy-apple red flags fettered, unfurled
Gilded stars glittering in their midst. 
How many celestial moons will pass until 
Mr. Mao comes down to break up the
Combo and pronounce,
“God is alive, really kicking and has a 
Grey grey beard”?...

Dance, Ladies, dance!—
By the light of lanterns.
Let your red skirts swirl
Like the tops of carousels—
Candy-apple red.

Dance, Children, dance!
With your glowing adornments—
Rainbow blue and green—
Firefly green.

The scent of gardenias
Wafts from urban gardens—
Gardenias and radishes.
The night air breathes magic;
The block has been transformed....

Caramel Apples

Slowly melt some Caramel
over a low flame
dip a Granny Smith apple
set it on a plate

My comrade - 
was 
a candy apple red steed. 

I would admire 
the way the sun 
would catch and sparkle 
across her bars, 
marvel over 
the grand Ferris wheel 
in proportion 
to her two small children. 

Some days 
we would don 
the sound 
of my sea foam flip flops, 
galloping, 
I would let 
the rough cement 
guide us 
as 
I rode 
on, 
a mad train west....

temps random heated
summer has now stalled it's
now autumns call fall~
*
cool breezes forming
divert distant calms fallings
pumpkin spice coffees~
*
candy apple bleeds
of nuts, caramel,  chocolate
cooling down weathers~
*
blistering heat ceased 
it's now Autumns Fall time
season of cools calm~

barkers hawk
shifting paradigms
change is good
and I've got a pocket full
drop a token
in the slot
and get
all the advice
any clown
made of nuts and bolts
can offer
a calliope jangles
the unsaid
a cacophony of slights
left with a sickly slick
(candy apple on a stick)
swirl and whirl
gone crazy
just another ride
just another chance
at the desperation 
and acceptance 
of the soul carnival...

Heaven's graceful arm
Unveils destiny's charm.
Cradled in white billows 
Dusk rolls in on wispy pillows. 


A sunset of candy apple red
Melts into clusters of grape beds.
A lemon lime hue of reflection
Closes the day in perfection.


Night flowers perfume the air
Romance is allowed to share.
Visuals stimulate and stir
Hypnotizing scents procure.


"A ribboned scented night "

Candy apple dreams crushed
 a one shot arrow turns you blue
 what comes around will come around
 dirty lies tied to delight
 a pretty girl all high just getting by
 stuck in a hurricane this storm is gonna strike
 along the edge of this city you play
 
 A crying heart bleeding under a moonlight of lust
 love is a devil's wish, full of tradgedy 
 mixed up all over you there's no beyond
 you take your fate at the devil's gate.....

candlelight mystery
looking out the window
blockaded by friendship
but thankful for the same
wanting to get on the other car of the train
yet being choked by the fear of past present pain
lavender aromatherapy conversation
apple cinnamon delight
pumpkin spice ambiance
clear waters constantly flowing
winter candy apple amusement
sensual amber effervescence 
though the mystery of us may never be solved,
the candles of our unique friendship and bond will infinitely burn...
