Sweet Tooth, Sweetheart
i will never lose
a lady i never had.
i can never claim to have loved
if this love was never revealed.
i loved the lady i never had,
for loving is never owning.
loving is sharing
the craving for chocolates,
the thirst for ice cream,
the dreams in sweets and
the twists in pastries.
chocolates,
ice cream,
sweets
and pastries:
all are heavenly treats
for they graced the party
that brought the lady
close to my heart.
never to own
but to love
for the rest of my life.

sweet,loving it
thanks for reading, shayra. i’m pleased to know that you found it really sweet.
Great poem. I like the “losing a lady I never had” – I’m just thinking that it’s the more essential metaphor rather than the sweetness? Sorry I’m really a stickler for titles.
