Skin colour is icing on a cake
That needed some love to make and bake
If not to your taste
Please don't let it waste
Someone will love it, for Heaven's sake!...

   The icing on the cake is the best part
      so delicious, I eat it right from the start
   leaving cake crumbs for mouse and cat
      Let them gorge themselves, get fat

Canada is leading preparing for this outbreak
Cases are low which puts the icing on the cake
We're at the front
Leading by a bunch
It's not a competition, it's still up to fate...

He showed up too late
  his trousers too short
wearing white socks
  asking 'What ring?'

My ex-bridegroom

Inspired by Silent One's contest,
When Plans don't go to plan......

His touch cool chill that goes up my spine
Ummm it will truly, totally blow your mind
His touch is fire burning so hot

The icing on the cake
Touch definitely not fake
I lay awake
His touch

Your smile is contagious,
Your energy is endless,
But the most astonishing thing about you,
Is your intelligence.

You’re caring and considerate,
You’re the icing on the cake,
And without your music,
The world would be a mistake....

Morning mist slides o'er the lake
Like spreading icing on a cake
Without hindrance does it glide 
As it moves from side to side
And like a bird with seeming mirth
Soaring high above the earth 
Without hindrance do I fly
Tracing hearts up in the sky...

My ultimate stroke feather in cap 
Is a grand slam, hole in one, rap
With home run icing, on the cake
Putting finishing touch, on keepsake
A perfected prize showpiece 
Which is a classic gem, jewel, entry
Written in highly expressive
Dowering, poesy, narrative...

Music is to written words
as icing is to cake

Enhancing what you thought you read,
to joyously partake

A song can climb between the layers
to make each serving fly

Sent from Maestro’s high above
—sweet memories bye and bye

Mmmm Cake
I know I have been drinking
But what was I thinking
Its now ten past three
I'm thinking how mad can one man bee
When upon awakening I find lying next to me
Last nights fatal mistake
The icing on the cake
Mmmm cake
I'm hungry 
I wonder if she will grill me a steak...

I always shun the cake,
With too much icing,
Unless I have witnessed the bake.

I always distance myself from a cake,
That has too much frosting,
And I find it hard see the actual cake.

So, it is with me and bureaucracy,
When I see too many layers,
And little transparency....

Eat Your Cake

One time and many
the past you speak of
was my present
it was the icing on my cake
The yellow marzipan 
my dreams 
my pleasures
under that substantial
crust of sweetness
Now 
its remains 
sit in an old tin
forgotten
waiting to feed 
the birds in my garden....

I put the icing on it
Because I always do the icing before the cake

Just the way I like it
I typed those words spitting them from the cortex of my creativity

I gave birth to them
I am the mommy, the daddy, the sibling, the step parent

Please don't steal
Okay go ahead and steal but remember, I own the signature...

Ava's first birthday 
She thinks to herself 
Why are they Smiling 
What are they singing 
What happened to me 
Is this what love is 

So captivated 
Her look is precious 
Painted on her face 
Icing from the cake 
Toothless and hairless 
She stares- mesmerized

 ICING ON THE CAKE

Mountains, valleys, rivers and trees
Flowers, sunsets, birds and bees

Sunlight, moonlight, stars and sky
Creeks and streams that gurgle by

Rainbows, waterfalls, colorful leaves
Plants, animals and the big blue seas

Butterflies, dragonflies, prairies and lakes
All add to the icing on this cake !...

There once was a thing called a mother
She was the one who cared above all others
With the exception of God
When no one else would listen 
Have the time to speak an immediate 
Answer needed
Tears flow 
Acknowledging the clearing
Tunnel vision returns 
Helping focus
Positive strokes Icing on the cake
Springtime thoughts knocking
Again balance...

Paning for gold
With a silver spoon in your mouth
Wearing a tarnished bronze metal
Fools gold
Metal the metal in your hands
Welding your steel thoughts
To seal the deal
And feel no pain...
Gaining wisdom
Teeth to get pulled out of your head
To many voices
Voicing your opinion
That was not yours for the taking
Just as well be the icing on the cake...

Not a switch 
To turn off 
Then back on 
At beck and call 

Push one way 
Then the other 
Words meaningless 
Without voice 
Obey when spoken to 
clap 
did it work

A relationship 
More like a slave 
Do I exist 
Maybe invisible 
Need glasses 

Awakening light 
Pressed too many times 
Icing on the cake 
Let me speak 
Will you 

Hello 
I am 
On the wall 
Turned off...

R-ound of applause for you, 
O-n this very special event; 
W-ith you blowing the candles, 
E-veryone claps for a moment.
N-ice icing on the cake makes the eyes both smile; 
A-ugust sixth warm sweet day lets the ache fade for a while.

R-emembering your occasion
E-xpresses merry mood; 
Y-our birth brings much mirth, 
E-ach round of applause
S-ounds good....

Everyone and thing has a price
When we are out there and don’t play nice
Perhaps you do not want to know what it’s about
You’ll take the money and just get out

For doing right can be on a sliding scale
Sometimes you win and sometimes you fail
And then it’s just wanting to get out
Money becomes the icing on the cake - with and not without.

My parents always told me to be careful what I say,
But I never really thought about it until now.
I suppose it’s harder on important days like today
Because it’s only once I say my wedding vows.

I’ll be standing in front of the woman to be my wife,
Hoping that she knows that I love her very much.
She’s the icing on the cake to my wonderful life.
Besides, my house really needs a woman’s touch....
