A Taste of Candy

The taste of candy
Lingers sweetly in my mouth
Like thick liquid honey wrapping itself
Sensuously around my eager tongue.

Candy cherries
Perched proudly atop pale pink cupcakes
That I nibble until their sweet juices
Make red my lips.

Hard candy
That I draw into my mouth
And suck gently until my tongue
Feels the wetness of its own slick nectar.

Chewy candy
That I bite carefully and roll
On my tongue until the liquid center bursts,
And floods my mouth with a sweet explosion.

The taste of Candy
Lingers sweetly in my mouth.
