Love Poem: Eye Candy

Eye Candy

Eye Candy
Eye candy, visual sweets
Fed to us by what appeals to our 
Lustful taste
Desires that we chase
And assets that we embrace
See the flesh puts its hand
Into the world’s candy basket
And tries to claim what’s ours
Whether it takes days weeks or hours
And sooner or later 
We get to things sour
And find a familiar face
And on our path to treats
We attempt to trace
The places we’ve been
And bras that we’ve unlaced
But nevertheless we never find
That one fulfilling treat
And no matter how many times
Someone else’s sheets become
Our home for the night
We don’t feel love
We don’t feel trust
What has become of us
