Sugar

by Kristina Harris - Aries

It tastes like sugar.
My mom told me,
when a spoonful
of cough syrup
fought its way
into my lips.

Sugar...is in the air
I would say,
when the sun shone
brightly..
on a summer's day.

I long for sugar.
I'd hear in my mind.
When the essence
of loneliness
trapped me..
in my own prison.

Sweet is the sun
like sugar on 
lemonheads.
When I feel in need.

Sweet is the moon,
when I taste it
in the cold, 
night air.

Sugar.
So sweet.
So beautiful.
So misunderstood
am I.

I think I'll
go now..
take a walk,
taste the sugar
in the cool night
air,
and dream of 
lemondrops
and sugar cubes
dancing in a peaceful
aura of love.

Sugar..
Hmmm.
