Sweetness.

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Sweetness.

 

I see

butterscotch evenings,

red sky honied in creamy sunset,

last light's toffee waves

as sea's olive coverlet changes

to caramel-sepia.

 

I see

twilight's blush streaking

dun-dusk with striped humbug tints,

 candy-silk cloudlets  

sinking in remembered cherry-lips

as dark lights long-ago scenes.

 

I see

treacle-soft secrets       

sealing shy kisses and zest trying

each treasured offer 

of nightly concealment, eagerly

stirring crystallised feelings.

 

I see.

chocolate-smooth dreaming

spicing beach-vows and re-living  

now youth's nectar-need

roused is my sugar-fix while tasting  

again first-love's true sweetness.

    I read a wonderfully written description of a mesmeric depiction encapsulating: magnetic attraction, draped in its otherworldly hue,
    'Twilight blushed streaking,
    dun-dusk striped in humbug tints,'

    • Fay Slimm.

      A grateful thank you for this generous comment on Sweetness dear friend. Am delighted you find the description mesmeric.

                • Fay Slimm.

                  Glad you saw the reason for metaphor in this little tribute to a sweet first-love - - gone but the taste remains in memory........ thank you my friend for your visit and read.

                  I was drawn not like a poultice or a pen might draw one ..
                  .. but by admiration and respect and the ache of a sweet tooth .. near perfect ....on both visits ....

                  • Fay Slimm.

                    You mon ami are kindness itself - thank you ever so much...........x
