Sweet Treats

Morning time...waking with sweets in my mouth
cinnamon carameltmarshmellowed out
breakfast cereal Sugar Dynamite
secret prize inside,bestows x-ray sight

Sugar shock,tooth rot,'60s psycotropic lollipops
an infinite selection @ Treat's Sweetshop
its addictive candy flavors
improves moods and bad behavior
beware of its dangers
sugar rush overdose and hypereality at most

Peanutbrittle,jawbreakers,misfortune cookie riddles
limesours with saccarine middles
crispycreams filled my mouth
multi-colored jelly beans,sweet and sour insideout

Chocolate candy bars filled the candy jars
cinnamon coal pepper scorchers
mouth and stomach torture
jellied fruit medley,candied vomit,flavor bliss
oatmeal crisps and spicey comets
cool peppermints sooth
my tongue stuck to sticky tarts stronger than glue

Sugared hyper,spoiled rotten
the last flavor blast,gone not forgotten

Narcotic treats penny gag sweets
firecracker gum
blistering flaming lip smackers
and moldy sugarplums

Blue cotton candy,caramel dandies,gingersnaps
assorted sugared snacks,
bubblegum taffy stale rotten candy
are tough chewing tasks
the good stuff in my secret stash:
vanilla cream mashed between two oatmeal cookies
even tried vegan fruikies
my heart's desire...
spent several days sugar wired...still ain't tired

When tastebuds crave an everlasting taste
even toothpaste's nothing to waste
suck,never chew hot swallows in haste
found tastebud relief
gulped this 32oz. blizzard 
topped with chopped strawberry twizzlers

Nighttimes mean euphoric wake dreams
cool whipped creamed baked desserts
milkshakes quenched my sugar thirst
Next an ice cream brainfreeze sprinkled with the works,
Ate three slices of  icecream cake unthawed,
and an entire carton of chocolate marshmellow smorgasborgs
smothered in toffee fudge crunch and caramel popcorn munch

Baked treats make each morning time sublime
Sugared creamed pastries cake sweet
Saccarine cereal tastes surreal
Chocolate sprinkled ,vanilla milkshakes
completes morning meal
Then the entire day of sugar shock toothrot 
indulgence at Treat 's Sweet Shop

The Six Senses

Sight...as eyes embrace
                                                    A thousand words resonate
                                                 With each photograph they take
                                              Taste...seed soil ,and harvest DNA
                                            Remeberence of past flavors saturate
                             Intuition...the mind grasp hidden anger, joys and fears
                                               Touch... As gentle hands embrace
                                                    Each takes the pulse of grace
                      Smell...Scent memory is retained as distance subtles fragrance
                                          Lover's pheremones , our unburied dead
                                                         ... and war's bloodshed 
                                             Hearing...As observant ears embrace
                                  the words of joy, fear and all emotions resonate
            As age deafens , unheard , is the sound of music and children's words
                                   As death silences , the meaning of sound ends
                                                           As our first born's begins

Moab( Town In Utah)

Journey centuries passed
walk its trailblazers' path
old memories photographed
are sacred keys to Moab's past

Red sandstone canyons surround 
an old western town
its sacred fertile ground
and white sunlight grew sunflowers
near burningwood powered
homes nestled in verdant canyon meadows
where oxen roamed and travelers settled
cooled by cloud color blend and snow capped Rocky Mountains
gracing blue twilight skies growing dark 
over Canyonland Park
bordering Colorado River
beneath summer star glittered nights
and china pearl moonlight

Morning summer dream 
day brings gentle air and amber tangerine skilight gleam

Nature's presents...eternal Earth's essence

Winter

Pretty autumn shades 
vanish , seasons lay hidden
beneath winter's snow

Eye Contact

Intuitive attraction,closed eye interaction
spoken words braille's translation
dead silence amidst their hesitation
intuition their sacred present
through vacant eyes each felt the other's presence
in silence their hearts' rhythm is heard
as passions were observed
gentle hands touch facial expressions
their physical identity an unanswered question

Emotions...facial braille
sullen expressions,complexions pale
facial texture,old and smooth as fetal skin
both transcend first impressions
their kind words contradict facial braille expressions
beneath their aging veils , their true impressions
observed , yet both transcend timid nerves

Since birth their eyes were blind
neither yearned vision
their intuition lends its wisdom

Ocean Nocturne

In silent night's shade
all tidal carry vanish
lost in black oceans

Death's Cure

As memory mirrors my younger days
I've chased my reflection in old age
My heart endured 
Fear of death as I've waisted time searching for its cure
Failure ends my quest
In joyful acceptance , I feel no pain , regret
or fear...though death is near

Human Error

Scarlet scars , an open wound 
                  would summarize this ordeal of suicidal tendencies
                      damaged , the skin bares all frustrations
                    giving into temptation once to end deppression
               and such destruction might've avoided past difficulties
                              by arousing suspicion 
                       yet it's what treatment can't heal
                  fears clearer to caring eyes,then to herself
                    and an inherant wealth of personal pain 
               weighed hurtfully...emotional gravity...heart vacancy
                     relatives' deaths and unrealized dreams
                   pretentious display,is the envogue manner 
                   keeping conversational inappropriates hidden 
                  Her social diet quiet meditation ,journaling ,
                        asian tea and ancient medecinals 
                          experimentation's spiritual
          hoping their chemistry could suppress or at least ease insanity
                  yet impatience proves otherwise..narcotic overdose
                 to no one's suprise , modern news kills shock value 
                          which death's your pleasure 
                       the wiser transcend...human error

Human

Earth is human flesh
                                                    The sun inherent chakra
                                                        The skeleton moon
