I Want Candy

Could a young boy
walk into a candy store
and not want to touch,
to taste and to partake
of the candies
contained within?

A woman I know thinks
she could move in with me
and maintain a position
of respectability.

In other words,
I could look
but not touch.
I would lick my
lips yet not taste.
And I would admire
without desire?

I am sure that
I know myself
much better
than her
and I want
my candy.

JM,
So...are you going to propose? Then you could have all the candy you want! Cute write and the truth.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Eye Candy..... too sweet

A friend, like a candle, is most needed in the darkness.
