When food and mouth both meet,
And after that we will have to eat;
Did have to hunt,
For what we want;
Pastries that did seem so sweeet.

There is no taste as sweet … 


…As a juicy strawberry…
…Godiva chocolates…
…Ripe honeydew…
…The finest pastries…
…Junior’s cheesecake…

Accept… maybe your lips.

mmmm…...

Filled with the luscious guava 
The puffed pastry dough
Indulge the taste buds craving
With the sweet flavor
And ambrosial smell
Filling the 
Air

Soul trapped in paradise, broken like statues, 
bleached out like skeletal structures on sandstone.
Helena's pastries, warm honey skin,
a blanket to smooth back the shape that you're in......

Ruddy colored Buteo
hovering
upon the budding arms
of the Maple Tree
at the break of Dusk
in the blustering wake
of the Storm

Beneath the Majestic Snow draped Mountains
at the Worlds edge
Like Cakes and Pastries
in a Bakery Shoppe Window...

Full length frontal flesh pressed into half-awake spouse.
Smoldering and smelted as one Blue Danube strauss.

The bluebirds twitter a blithesome tune of Wintergray.
Warmth of coffee, sweet pastries and a tulip’d bouquet.

PLATTERS

Platter full of pastries.
Plate of fruits and mixed nuts.
Peaches and plums, so sweet.
Pineapple so juicy.
Pecans so buttery.
Pistachios, cashews
Palatable, tasty.

Cakes, cookies, brownies, and pies;
Scones, pastries, muffins, and tarts;
Biscuits, bagels, and bread: Oh my!
Creating these gifts much joy doth impart.
I don’t believe I’m overstating the part.
So very few folks alive grasp this gift.
Life is all about what you bake of it!...

In the stillness of morning   while stars still shine,  hints the new dawn

Wakes the baker of pastries    and roosters’    cock-a-doddle-do 

I need more sleep, says the baker   …time for a fresh rooster pie!

i sit alone in peace with nature
instead of eating the pastries of paris
i sit alone in peace with nature
instead of eating sweets on the streets of bologna
i sit alone in peace with nature
as i find it more tranquil and peaceful
i sit alone in peace with nature
instead of drinking coffee in the cafès of Berlin

It's a summer morning,
but his face gives an impression
of a winter evening.

Aroma of cappucino and pastries
in the next street doesn't excite 
his taste bud's anticipation.

He walks, looking down,
not noticing his friends
or pretty girls walking past him.

His guitar plays to the fashion of dirges
in the middle of a fun park........

Heart of Paris

My heart
In Paris Tombs

My soul
Lays scented under lamp lit dark

Empty cafes
Alone inside the carafe of wine

Pay the garcon
Pay the devils fine

Endless streets
Plentiful pastries

I am both fat and thin
I am both rich and poor

I have books
Both written and read

Now over in the graveyard
Come read me dead

The time is here
For the Season of cheer,
Such a cozy time of year

Leaves are turning green to red
After that the leaves will shed,
All the birds will soon have fled

Wind is blowing all around 
Picking leaves up off the ground,
Putting them back where they were found

Smells of pastries and pumpkins in the air
Food and parties to prepare,
Tis The Season I declare....

Mid-autumn festival
Moon cakes and pastries;
So much variety


By these shores
Chinese customs persist;
Indifferent to time


Goodies galore
In sheer overflow;
Moon glow and magic


Soon bright lanterns
Will thrill the children;
Little people like fireflies


Reaping the harvest
Celebrating the moon;
Mid-autumn sensations

Special child enjoyed blest* birthday treat
delighted with pastries richly sweet…
oh, ice cream cake was best
he licked and bit midst zest
then shared for feast, saved from candle’s heat.

Newborns are born daily, still magical, enthralling us
With their kittenish mewing sound
snuggling into our fat shoulders

Pies, cakes, and pastries are made
by bakers at four a.m.
Humming as they work,
anticipating the happy excitement
of people who want a fresh donut at six.

Two-year-olds are laughing full out,
Seven-year-olds are asking for their own unicorns.
What can be more hopeful than that?...

.          AT   THE    BAKERS
A    very   old    Parsi   couple
Sans    teeth   sans    taste
Sans    almost     any    reason
To     buy    lots   of   pastries  ,
Cakes   ,   butter   ,    biscuits
Except   their   grandson
Seeming    boy    half  -   hidden
Behind   them   ,
Who   however   lingered
When   they   loaded   left
Clutching   a   ten   paisa    coin
And   begging   for   a   biscuit ....

I had a meal that wasn’t square
Though all the things I’d need were there:
Some crusty bread, some cheese and fruit
And lots of salad spreads, to boot.

A plate of veggies, nicely sliced
And lox and cream cheese, which enticed.
A pot of coffee, freshly perked
And pastries (where the cal’ries lurked).

I lunched with utter pure delight;
The hostess got it all just right.
I wonder how would one prepare
A better meal to make it square....

Tomorrow is uncertain,
So celebrate today.
The possibilities await,
Like pastries on display.

So choose the one with most appeal
And take a giant bite;
Perhaps its pure deliciousness
Will whet your appetite.

For life is unpredictable
So while we’re here, indulge.
The future holds a question mark
That no one will divulge.

We cannot know from day to day
If we’ll be stressed or thrilled,
But if our choices satiate,
At least we’ll feel fulfilled....

I'm ponderous, 
You're hilarious,
Those voice came from waterlies, 
All in cemented mysteries,
Shadows reserve us with full bowl of pastries,
Let's talk much of needs to be honored,
Then we buy for mourners,
To eradicate the preterminal parse,
Road leading to stars in the universe,
Is now showing dynamic matte,
When all meet at last,
We'll sing sorrowful tunes to the past,
To close our bodies in silence,
Accordingly,it's facing pretence....
