Sugar
By Shanyu
We inscribed cotton candy verses on our skin,
Hoping all we’ll ever feel, is love.
Rolled cedar chocolate on our tongues,
Hoping all we’ll ever say, is heard.
Replaced each eye for a candy,
Hoping all we’ll ever cry, is color.
Painted our days with cola,
Hoping all they’ll be is sweet.
Stuffed our mouths with toffee,
Sugar lows, sugar highs,
Of melting skin and caramel,
Of cinnamon scented lies.
And such we silly sugar beings,
Hoping all is merry, bright,
Eyes turned to gluttony,
Lips spread in delight.
