A path paved with taffy
A strawberry flavored river
Powdered sugar dusted flowers
And rocks made out of toffee
Clouds of cotton candy
Hills of scoops of ice cream
Pink lemonade brooks and streams
And an ocean of coffee
Lollipops grow like weeds
Truffles sprout from trees
Caramel flowers bloom in threes
And cocoa roasted almond seeds
Each bite comes with a dose of bliss
(With vitamins and minerals packed in)
And zero grams of fat to keep me thin…
A fictional paradise it truly is!

Perfect Love
There is no perfect love
once I was told
So my hopes and dreams
I should cease to hold
My way of thinking
is absolutely wrong
Hence any of my relationships
won’t ever last long
Foolish and gullible
that’s how they describe me
Being manipulated by people
so the truth I can’t see
It’s only really about
taking care of each other
They say that’s what people should do
when they are together
Passion and love
only comes in the beginning
It doesn’t last forever
Oh, what was I thinking?
I should stop my worthless search
and accept reality
There is no perfect love
There is only responsibility.
The ears hear the harsh words
The skin feels the cold ground
The eyes see the selfish world
The hands hold the empty can
The nose smells the scent of defeat
The brain calculates the odds of life
The heart gathers it all in
The lungs let the last breath out…
I don’t know where I’m heading
Someone else take the wheel
My mind is too distracted
To know what my heart feels
************
Turn, wheel, turn
With each rotation do
Make the time fly by
Clockwise, on and on
And we grow older everyday
Forgetting all of life’s strife
Turn, wheel, turn
Until it’s time to stop
When I’ve reached my destiny; eternity
