Candy Boy

He is the candy boy
And who can resist him?

Who else has eyes such as his?
Chocolate colored beauties –
Cadbury Cream Eggs
All creamy and rich with expression.

Who else laughs the way he does?
His beautiful voice cascades
Like pouring M&Ms or Jelly Bellys
Into my open mouth.

Who else can make everyone swoon without fail?
I can smell his sugary sweet
Minutes after he’s left the room
Or I can just get very close...

Who else has such wonderful fingers?
Pliable and flexible –
Veritable Twizzlers
Wrapping around my own.

Who else has such soft skin?
Like a marshmallow
Smooth and gentle
Especially when he presses me closer.

Who else has such fiery lips?
Like Hot Tamales –   
Whenever he presses his against mine
I feel the sizzling cinnamon burn.

Who cares why or how I love him,
It doesn’t matter
He’s a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup –
Amazing any which way you eat it.

He is the candy boy
And who can resist him?
