Bake until Golden, Sweeten to Taste: A Poem By Shay

I searched the sun

Which was the color of a sugar cookie,

But in the end,

The day hoarded you for itself--

Leaving my face tilted in the window

Like an empty plate.

So,

I hid my name in a honey jar;

Did you think

A thing as simple as a sweet tooth

Could sing to you like that?

I have many recipes,

But just a single sweetheart;

And I can use many wiles

All for a common cause.

Follow your craving,

I'll be waiting...

Come to my kitchen, now Love, now.

I will distract you with temptations,

And when your eyelids fall to savor,

You'll never notice

The softly closing door.

By The Bay: A Poem of Forgotten Love 

In San Francisco Bay by Moondustwriter

They were magnetized

by a timeless embrace

for fractions of a moment

*

his eyes  just as entrancing

hers glistened  like diamonds

energy surged thru the pair

*

a single silhouette

caught by the light

reflected on the bay

*

for that brief moment

transferred back

to a distant time and place

*

young love was all

that entered their minds

as they danced beneath the stars

*

the next instant they awakened

to wisps of fog

intertwined in their smiles
