as embers glow on wintry nights
candy canes and x-mas lights
truth gives way to summer’s steam
carousels and caramel cream
what fancy leads me on to dream
of sugar plums in frozen cream
O, free me from this August's blight
encase the world in beams of light
Sweet tea and tongues spill the cream.
Loose lips chew ice cubes and a story,
twisting it slightly to fire up a regime.
Unsettling words come out in a stream
becoming more and more accusatory.
Sweet tea and tongues spill the cream.
Getting jollies while cooking a scheme
they sell something as simple as glory.
Twisting it slightly to fire up a regime.
Reprehensible behavior to redeem?
Nope. It never fits into that category.
Sweet tea and tongues spill the cream.
Add sugar leave out a clear cut theme,
providing clarity is never mandatory.
Twisting it slightly to fire up a regime.
Bored so they want to blow off steam.
All of the dialog? I've taken inventory.
Sweet tea and tongues spill the cream,
twisting it slightly to fire up a regime.
If I gave up sugar
would I crave more salt?
Filling up my diet with potato chips and French fries?
If I gave up sugar
would the enamel grow back on my teeth
Would my missing teeth grow back?
If I gave up sugar
would I lose weight and feel healthy?
Would I still be me?
I daresay I will never know
Sugar, my sweet, you’ve slipped away,
Into the light of a softer day.
My heart aches deep, it’s hard to bear,
This quiet house, this empty air.
You were my shadow, soft and warm,
A snuggle-seeking, loving form.
With wagging tail and gentle eyes,
You filled my world with sweet surprise.
Escape artist with a wild soul,
You chased the wind, you played the role
Of fearless friend on grand crusades,
Through tangled woods and open glades.
But now those paws have come to rest,
And though I know it’s for the best,
I wish for just one moment more—
One happy bark, one leap, one door
You'd sneak out through with that sly grin,
Your little games, your spirit’s spin.
I miss your warmth beside my bed,
The nuzzle of your sleepy head.
The silence now is sharp and wide,
Without my Sugar by my side.
But love like yours does not just part,
It lingers in the quiet heart.
Forever mine, you’ll always be—
A friend, a joy, a piece of me.
I wrote a documentary
that would have won a BAFTA
But nobody would fund it
It was not what they were afta
I pitched the plot to Netflix
cuz they have a lot of money
They sent me packing, laughing
“Don’t call us, we’ll call you, Sonny”
I lastly pitched to Paramount
hoping they’d save the day
They took one look at me
shook their head and said, “No way!”
It’s such a shame that no one knows
your worth unless you’re famous
I always seek some solace from
those cookies made by Amos …
Famous (yummy) Amos (yummy)
“Makes your eyes light up (and)
Your tummy say ‘Howdy.’”
The camel, when drinking of tea,
Takes sugar proportionately.
For each of its humps
It drops twenty lumps;
But more, if it’s sailing by sea.
GET your
SUGAR from the cupboard of your heart and winter kiss my wavering thoughts like the first snowflake to fall
HONEYED with passion your words of affirmation always bring warmth to the frost biting at everything I’m trying to pick up
ICING my past like white cake served by a slave with stone cold emotions, with sweet
TEA because I’m from the south with dreams traveling North
TOGETHER we will make love beautiful again
p.s. when my head is weighed down her kiss carries the weight…
There is magic in ...
Sugar and snowflakes,
When wonder does begin
As December awakes
Where this magic comes from
Do we really need to know ...
From first bite to last crumb
O, how we enjoy it, though
These simple, pleasurable things
Dance and mix and melt ...
Upon imaginary wings ...
And with our feelings felt
Comes to us like a dream
These things need not grow up,
Unlike the rising steam ...
From a hot cocoa cup
Wonderful and sweet
A warmer winter makes,
When candy and spice meet
And an oven slowly bakes
There is magic in the air
In crystals can be found,
Within many sugared fare
Or snowflakes on the ground.
Today a black ant ran out of my C and H sugar bag
She was old, determined, mission-minded, a real hag
Trailing my sugar back to her well-attended ant nest
Ultimate scout, showing the way to my bag to the rest.
My dear Mama, oh so dear,
A mother true, always near.
From childhood's dawn till present day,
You guided us, showed the way.
With "Sugar Boy" by your side,
Together you led, with love and pride.
To "Oko Eti-ose" and "Oko Okuku" farms,
We trekked, with loaded arms.
The roads were long, the loads were heavy,
I cried, but you helped me be brave.
Coming home, with weary feet,
You soothed my tears, made our hearts meet.
With meager pay, as teacher true,
You and "Sugar Boy" saw us through.
Education's doors, you opened wide,
Degrees acquired, our futures inside.
In pain, you helped; in need, you gave,
Ensuring food, a roof to save.
Your partnership, a shining light,
Taught me teamwork, day and night.
You and Papa, a perfect pair,
United, selfless, beyond compare.
No difference, in love and care,
You both showed us, how to share.
May your days be long and bright,
Filled with joy, love's warm light.
We recognize, your sacrifices grand,
Thank you, dear Mama, hand in hand.
To be left bare to all rhyme and most reason
From gnarled wounds of sweet nectar eaten
A Mother whom suckled life, now weakened
Still they come in glee, lapping there the given
In her bloomed bouquet of chronomantic hues
She was resplendent as she captivated views
Coyly she stripped away at her prophetic news
Fall has come to hibernate into his nestled snooze
Thirteen points stretch from Sea to Shining Sea
Proudly branching Freedom to stand Tall for Thee
Blend into her blanket of Oz piled high to your knee
How warm it is to hug intently OUR Sugar Maple Tree
Sugar Daddy

My life has been like one
big old Sugar Daddy Sucker,
Seems I’ve got mine licked
almost down to the stick.
During some adverse times
I’ve had to rely on succor,
But today I sit and ponder
if I’m near that last lick.

The toothaches do not last
But, the memories, they do,
Once Halloween had passed
And my childhood, too ...
But, the memories, they do
Remain with me still ...
And my childhood, too
I am sure always will
Remain with me still ...
The magic and the fun,
I am sure always will
When all is said and done
The magic and the fun
Can so easily get away,
When all is said and done
Let them eat candy this day
Can so easily get away ...
Once Halloween had passed,
Let them eat candy this day
The toothaches do not last.
Sugar Momma is en route to Anytown Enlightening,
Elevating and Uplifting with unwavering Confidence
spreading good vibes, and energy to everyone, talking to everyone. Left, right, right, left as she approaches they all
stop and stare as her presence illuminates the chambers
Facts remain Sugar Momma has endured so much pain
in her paths, She has treaded jumping over hurdles near and far yet she hasn't hardened her heart. Sugar Momma
She has been through many disappointments full of
pain, and heartaches with turbulent tests and tribulations
on this road called life. Sugar Momma
Sugar Momma is set up with traps and plots methodized by
familiar faces trying to break her spirit yet Sugar Momma
has not let defeat overthrow her nor separate her from the Divine and her visions. Sugar Momma
Occasionally, the sugar cubes
were overshadowed by shards of glass.
Nighttime was for praying for another sweetened day
Decades blew away like gulls on a hurricane cay.
Back and forth- sugar and glass-glass and sugar.
Washing it all down with an astral grin and wooden prayer.
With much practice, you couldn't tell the crystal from the shard.
