'hugs' timothy r gates 6/20/2008

hugs
no ridiculous demure,
saccharin.
penchant for sweets
chocolate, to die for
to die in
to make your throat thick,
after eating a bag (any size)
of candy covered, chocolate covered peanuts
-you know when you've had too much,
sorry, but not truly-
saccharin, for those
without knowing a moderate intake of real sugar
like light cheesecake
...why?
indulge
intoxicate
preoccupate
not suffocate
a hug,
a well placed kiss
-anywhere-
opens the window
a breeze over you reddened cheeks
give permission to smile
hell, heaven!
i know i do.
