Love Poem: Cookies and Cream

Cookies and Cream

I love you better 
than Cookies and Cream,
my lifelong favorite

more than seas playing footsies
with shore clams
in cuddly tropical sands

The warmth of enticing Caribbean 
soothing waters
                 
(billowy-sails...fields of overhead 
stars...night's complicit fireflies 
helping chart to a romantic cove
a beat-up heart seeking a paradise-like
new-start)

(a desire for tasteful, novel, cheerful effervescent 
brew, a need to leave on the old dock past that settled for
impure bitters)

( navigate clear of thought defacing
apps like Facebook's and Twitter's

that falsely entice, tempt   
a free-thinking, sacred spirit, to 
express living solely on a mindless
uncaring device – not a true life, just a
wax slice

not abiding complete, but in fact, 
manipulated into electronic defeat....)

Petals need firm attachment if to be
enticing blushing roses~ blooms for crinkly smiles, 
puckering lips and playful toes-es – 
                 
               Valentines of 
perfumed hearts made of hand-laid,
lacy type paper, crafted by flirty eyes
in agreement with pheromone receptive 
noses
                                           
         A softly played harp...a bower of flowers...                     
Back lathering showers shared – which 
requires a minimum of two daring 
hearts...wantonly, lovingly paired – 

Love is always trumpeted, openly, fondly, vociferously
musically declared....
