Sugar

Sugar sweet high.

Sugar sweet deep.

Your brown sugar is scorching me.

In cups measured, and

spoons just fine,

brown and white euphorias, my sunshine.

In sugar sweet cubes

and powdered ecstacy. 

In snowy spoonfulls 

and wild chemical frenzy. 

Sugar white,

crystallized.... 

Sugar sweet,

hypnotized....

Hot sugar--tantalizing..... 

warm sugar--stabilizing.....

Burnt and melting, 

warming slowly,

melodiously dissolving. 

Sugar sweet flavor, 

sugar sweet feel.

A giant sugar glacier.

Sugar sweet symphony...

I'm sorry maybe I'm a bit dirty minded but this comes across as sexy as all hell. The flow of this is great and is most certainly best savored if read aloud. All the inference and symbolism is wonderful just enough to guide but not direct... a perfect melding and a great write! I love the voice in here it's matter of fact but in a gentle sway giving it a very warm feeling that sets loose my imagination. This construct your symphony is about as perfect a write as i have come across just floored.

Thank you so much for your words. Really appreciate!

[Lydia Shutter]

Not sure if you are actually speaking of sweet treats or sensual ones, but in either case, I enjoyed the words. Who would not be enticed by a "giant sugar glacier"? :) Good one. Lydi**

[Moonie]

Actually I mean love from the metaphor. But who am I to complain, if the shoe fits... thank you Lydia ma'am!! :))

[Lydia Shutter]

:) Yes, love is sweet as sugar, no doubt.

I have a sweet tooth so naturally your title drew me in and I enjoyed the sweetness therein.
a deliciously, yummy poem you've penned here, Moon.

[Moonie]

Yay, woody!!!! I missed you during my time off... thabk you for checking this one out!! :))

[Moonie]

Thank*.....

[Woody]

got that. but I can settle for thabk. I'm not particular. I'd take anything you dish out at me.

[Moonie]

Haha, I write thabk instead of thank all the time...lol... you care more about the taste than the shape of the fruit, I see...

[Woody]

exactly. and besides what are friends for?

[Moonie]

I know, right!!!! They understand all the typos!!

'Sugar Sweet' was the name for a regular rave night in Belfast in the 1990s and your poem really brought those sweet times back into my minds eye.

Sugar is zero fat so we shouldn't feel guilty about diving straight into it lol. And you have no qualms judging by this.

Loved the phrase "melodiously dissolving' - cool as a sugar glacier, Moons.

[Moonie]

Heya, missed you on my WC sabbatical. Glad I made you remember those ultra sweet times...and yep, no qualms at all...thank you, Anto.. hugs to you, my friend!! :))

Very creative and cute theme for the piece! The image you create with the words reminds me of the sticky sweet love, as I call it, for someone else.

[Moonie]

Thank you, gabiaimee.. I appreciate your visit... love has to be sticky sweet for me...containing multiple spoonfulls of sugar, plus with dollops of cream on top... :))

Aha.. have you been listening to maroon 5 lately my darling? :D
mmmm.. sugar cubes.. love this sensuous feeling you create throughout this poem. You can surely make my mouth water, and my skin crave for some ahem.. sugar sweet symphony? :D

[Moonie]

You've hit the bull's eye!! Yep, that very same song is the inspiration for this one. I wish I could have Adam sing this one out loud just for me...hmm... I'll have to make a sticky note for that. What if I ever meet a genie someday, right??
Thanks, mama moon!!!!! :)) love, love, love to you...
