Choc wars

Addicted to sugar and how I crave it some days I'm pre diabetic but love chocolate how I feel some days

The key
Was found
It turned the
Lock
And in her haste
She tore her smock
Her dimples blushed
Her hair went red
Her blue eyes flickered
Outside her shaking head
Her hand quivered now
In abstract motion
She needed to find
Her magic potions

She had found the
Hidden secret
Stash
Of yummy sweets
Of colours this ' n that
She had hid them
Oh so carefully sadly
Her precious midnight candy
Just last night
Before her bed
As prayers were said
Their coloured foils
Went white a distant blur
Inside her sugar head

Her lucid voice
Was quite a quiver
The demons sweet and
Lovingly bade her to surrender
They beckoned her to open
Oh just one
Just one my lady
Take some candy
But
She closed that wooden box
And threw it out her door
With angry fist
And well planned thrust

And said to them

To Those most colourful foils
With a joyful whimper
"Be
Gone you sweets
Oh please be dammed
You temptress you of
Sugar and caramel complete
Go and seek some other soul
To make them fatter
And leave me
In peace to binge
On salad and lemon fresh water
And my celery apple carrot platter "

OMG this made my day Julie! I so identify with this poem. Love the theme, humor, flow, rhythm and wonderful rhyme of it. Oh, candy, thou art a cruel temptress at the midnight hour- I can testify to that! Binge-Demon- get thee hence & darken our lives no more! Great poem & thanks for the smile!:)

Silly indeed. What a wonderfully quirky, creative take on something as irksome as sugar addiction. I'm sure many people know the struggle in that last paragraph. We try to eat well, but the sweets are so damned good we just can't help it! Very enjoyable poem.
