Poem 1

"run away with me"

Words tickled my right ear

Honey.

Honey dipped words.

Over played.

Slightly rehearsed.

But sweet as sugar.

Sugar growing on a forbidden cane; making it even more to the liking.

"I'll protect you"

Dipped again.

Falling in a honey obsessed slumber.

Eyes drifting

Lips parting

Body trembling

In my left ear

Sugar pours;

"I love you"

Brown eye open

Pink lips make a gasp

Face turns

Pink

Pink as bubblegum

Overheated.

Burning

In the midst of winter

Brown hair blows

Wind

Wind blowing into a chill

"I love you"

Sugar

Honey

Dipped and oh catch me I'm falling

Hold me

I'm sinking

Catch me

I'm yours for the needing

Strong arms

Hot

Hot as a summers day

Embrace

Embrace me

And the world stops

Just us two

Two people

Worlds colliding

"take my hand"

Dipped in honey

Bathed in sugar

And for a moment

I don't care how long this play was rehearsed

As long as it was rehearsed for me
