Candy Hearts
February 10, 2021
The Candy Hearts on my tongue
Sugary sweet
The colorful dust
Brushes along my fingers
Swirling gently
I express my love
With a bubblegum envelope
Lipstick sealing
My silent declaration
I pour in my affections
My attractions
My devotions, you see
The feelings welling up
Until I exhale cotton lavender
From my lips, from my tongue
I bleed sparkling pink wine
It is the lifeblood of hopeless romantics,
Like me
I pour it into a glass
And I watch my life go by
Through rose-tinted shades
The memories treasured
In loving picture frames
Even as a writer, my words fail
So I reveal my emotions
In delicate expressions
Place them on your tongue
Look into my eyes
Savor the pink flavour
Of the cute little candy hearts
