Sweet Croissants

almond-croissants-set-of-15-cSweet Croissants

Sweet croissants, sweet croissants
powder-sugared sweet croissants
morning run to Good Life Grocery
pining for some sweet croissants
The bins were empty, delivery was late
no luck for any sweet croissant
chocolate, plain or almond crusted
for my baby sweet croissant
Read the papers, chatted with the clerk
she said her boyfriend would never run
out unshaven

to buy her a sweet croissant

At 7:30 they came smiling
chocolate, plain and almond crusted
Took them home and told my baby
how I waited for the sweet croissants
She gave me a kiss, patted my cheek, said,
Someone’s sweetheart is always sweeter
than one’s own sweet croissant

HAPPY VALENTINE’S DAY!

Sweet!

A little sweet in the mouth goes a long way. Watch babies eat ice cream for the very first time. Their expression is sublime;  and get addicted immediately: mouths open, hands outstretched, and if they are refused this marvelous, new gustatory sensation you’d be hearing sirens for a long time.

Sugar, nectar, honey—their sweetness reminds us of  love and as we taste love we are reassured that we are loved.

It had been a long day. I could barely keep my eyes open for my piano student, and told her so. “Would you like a candy?” She asked. “Yes,” I perked up. She handed it to me, a piece of chocolate that I had given her a couple of weeks before.
