Cinnamon sprinkled
Over sugar skin
Blueberry-blue eyes
Vanilla hair
Spice-wine lips
All mine to kiss

The title belies the content....sounds almost too perfect doesn't he/she?  Can such perfection only be achieved in an android?  Hmmmmm....makes one think.  Your poems have a way of doing that.  Hardrock

Good stuff. I think that there is such perfection in this world, and when we find it two things kind of happen. You grab a hold tight scared to lose it. Then you wait, ready for the faults that are predestined to occur. Then sometimes we sabotage it.
Thanks for sharing your work.

Very VERY original. That's great. Amazingly you have done it in just 6 odd lines.

Short and sweet Uta! Thanks.

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings: it takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquility.

The original version of this poem was actually written for my husband, Monster (Sébastien really, but he prefers Monster). I was describing how I see him. It went like this:

You, Beloved

Cinnamon sprinkled
over cotton skin
sea-spray grey eyes
vanilla hair
wine-scented lips
all mine to kiss

But then I thought that with a change of title, and by making the imagery all sweet, I could hint at a future scenario, when people have become so lonely and selfish that they need tailor-made lovers.

~You have such an extended thought,...yes!!!  Tailor made lovers,...my goodness. Is that what this world is in for?  You have done well with the transition of your poem.  Very interesting. *Peace.
