the little girl announces her presence

With that... all sense of hearing dissapears

Have you met, good old Grandma Goodie, Goodie,
With her gingerbread house of sweets emporium,
Tasty treats unwholesome to eat, but oh in pleasures

Large, colorful posters cover the walls
surrounding you...
offering tasty descriptions of...

What is as fresh and welcoming like the countryside?
And as sweet as a newly made confectionery

I think pink is a colour for the young,
It's also the colour of our tongue and lips,
And if we are 
caucasian, even our hips.

Sugarplums, babies bums, shell-like ears are pink,
Some jewellery I think too,
Pearls, Beads...

Amassed in tiny 
droplets formed 
on a windowsill 
like virgin tears 
of perfection... 
the night-bird's 
rendition of summer 
rain behind the backdrop 
of a trumpeter's smooth 
grooves melting beneath 
the warmth of
the enveloping sun. 

That...

The moonlight beamed on our whitened teeth as we wrote our names in the methylone stars,
Raspberry pixels leaked out of our cheeks as we covered our lungs in black velvet tar.
The wind blew your hair...

His hands work diligently,
They haven’t been wearied by the passage of time,
They have formed and moulded,
They have created and designed,

Work hours haven’t dwindled with time,
Age hasn’t been a barrier to...

So tell me what you
really like to feel
How you would like to swim,
chill a little,enjoy these free 
gusts as they fill your wings;

Raspberry bonbon confectionery,
Lavender fields, spicy infusions
Neon lights, trailing ivy shimmer,
Eerie azure moon, stately silhouettes

Katoomba's eucalyptus gardens
Aqua paint swirls, funky abstract art
Freshly cut roses, Prussian royal
Spider veins, mimic skeleton leaves

Maldives sandstorm, sapphire jewels
Inherited, European eyes
Topaz rich,...

Treacle Melts

Sail on sugar in the sweets
On winds of chocolate powder
And candy on the smack of lips

Kisses in secret caramel places heard
Over miles of creamy icing roads
Lift up my savory love

Whose fragrance is of pink...
