come fly with me in sweet shop dreams ..

from emma joy..

come fly with me in sweet-shop dreams

throw caution’s doubt into the wind,

laugh your face to pleasured lines,

come board my plain an' simple need..

let thermal toffee pleasures find -

see there, the flushed horizon glow

with coconut clouds

caressing low;

oh you with frown.. yes, you

with doubts

within your mind,

let rich selection power your wings

an' doubting heart all freedom find

with daring foil-wrapped

do or die..

 

no liquorice threads,

no brittle feel

but more

a rich confectioned place,

brim-filled with honey-almond taste

an' choc'late coated rich-ripe sips,

to lie upon your man-full lips,

they dipped

with sizzling sherbet buzz

to soon electrify a place

wherein the soar of sugary flow

must higher fly, then higher go..

for when descent is made divine

centres left must just be mine -

in sweet-shop dreams!

Quite interesting poem here,
"come fly with me in sweet-shop dreams" revolves around escapism and the pursuit of pleasure through imaginative experiences?

The language used is rich and sensory, filled with vivid imagery and playful diction. Words like "thermal toffee pleasures," "coconut clouds," and "sizzling sherbet buzz" evoke a sense of sweetness and delight, creating a playful and whimsical tone. I enjoyed your word play a lot.

Also it suggests to us that through imagination /deep thoughts and joy, one can find freedom and fulfillment.

Nicely done.

Many thanks, Amy. The poem is an old one re-jigged a little and from my previous given name, emmajoy. It's nice to offer a little fun every so often, don't you think. Keep well and happy, my friend, take care.
