Chocolate by Cheyenne Lehto

Aromas wafted left and right.

Creamy truffles, dark and light.

Sprinkled coconut, strawberry glaze,

Chocolate gems with caramel rays.

With delight, two bright blue eyes

Scan the case in awestruck surprise.

Little nose against the glass

Small, clear eyes twinkling fast.

Pointing at a caramel square,

Little eyes dash here and there.

The little figure scampers by.

Another case has caught her eye.

Ribbons and curls of chocolate lace,

Each delicately in its place.

Almond glaze on chocolate drops,

Ornate flowers on the tops.

Turning left and spinning right,

Golden braids come into sight.

Rich and creamy pecan fudge

Smothered atop with butterscotch sludge.

Sweet temptations fill her mind

Of vanilla and chocolate of every kind.

Girl by Hannah Herman

You’re gazing out the window

At your ice-covered tree

Your lotion smells of aloe

Hands hold a cup of tea.

As people swarm around you,

Your mind runs to elsewhere;

Eyes fixed like crazy Glue

Two ropen braids of hair.

But that was many years ago,

Centuries have passed

Your aura has a different glow

You’ve grown up, at last.

Maybe it’s not my place to wish

You hadn’t ever changed

That you were still the girl I miss

Not always rearranged.

Your hair is dark, your eyes are plain

You’re lacking all the fun

Of stories I don’t dare explain

Of all the webs you spun.

And maybe it’s not half so bad

For you to have matured

But by your shining life and sad

Drama I’m no longer lured.

And if this Christmas is the one

Where we begin to part,

I’ll turn off all the flaming love

And just sit here in the dark.

For Remembrance – Mike Hottleman

Oh,
I see her constantly, majority, she won't know me
Sometimes she's known personally
But usually, that's unlikely.

Though how strange can a stranger be
When I seem to know all equally
She once was close, like family
Until we created a vacancy vacantly.

You've never been mine
But I still feel betrayed
Even though I betray you every day.

Bridgechorus -
No no no, just got to let go. x2
Refrain.

And,
Know how I see her all the time?
My supply of "hers" cannot decline
'cause any kind of girl that passes by
Can replace her in my mind anytime.
[replacement anytime, anytime]

Minibridge -
Slow.....just slow.
No, no.....just no.

But there's still a part of me that cares
Even though it lately grows weak
I guess I need to let it share
An equal chance to speak.

I simple try not to care 'cause there is more you deserve
I'm ultimately unprepared, can never get up the nerve
And if ever I am scared, I never say a word
I love the fact that you care, but it's what I've tried to deter.
And I know I'm selfish, that's what makes me worry
That if I sink so low, you'll just let go of me
This cry for help isn't what I really wanted
I'd prefer to fake I was happy instead.

I know this apology is way ahead of time
And I know I put a couple words in just to make this rhyme
But whoever you are, just know I love you
And I'm praying that someday.....
Hopefully, I can show you.

I'm sorry.
