Shoebox Valentine (song in progress)

Dark chocolate hair, milky smooth

Into a truffle curlicue

Voice minty to relax and soothe

Musical taste in every chew


Mouthwatering caramel skin

Deep, warm pools of his toffee eyes

Sweet on the outside and within

Staring at the candy, you sigh


Melting like butter in his grasp

Cheeks grow hotter than the oven

Deep toffee eyes meeting, you gasp

Giggling at what shall happen then


Puppy love, oh so young

Puppy love, innocent

Puppy love has now sprung

Puppy love, so content


Your shoebox valentine

Elementary friend

Your shoebox valentine

Now at childhood’s end


Handing over a homemade card

Staring down shyly at his shoes

Then the single rose from his yard

Cut to tell you his feelings true


Turning red and pink as the rose

Matching the valentine décor

Standing up on your tippy toes

Peck on the cheek, stare at the floor


Puppy love, oh so young

Puppy love, innocent

Puppy love has now sprung

Puppy love, so content


Your shoebox valentine

Elementary friend

Your shoebox valentine

Now at childhood’s end


Looking up shy without a sound

At any which way, all around

Out to recess at the bell’s sound

Side by side one another bound


Childhood innocence, so pure

Intent clean and untainted yet

Their L-U-V blooming still sure

Their first and never to forget


Puppy love, oh so young

Puppy love, innocent

Puppy love has now sprung

Puppy love, so content


Your shoebox valentine

Elementary friend

Your shoebox valentine

Now at childhood’s end


Your shoebox valentine

Young memories anew

Your shoebox valentine

Young days’ L-U-V true


Your shoebox valentine (Puppy love, oh so sweet)

Your shoebox valentine (Puppy love, such a treat)

Your shoebox, oh shoebox

Your shoebox valentine

Cookie

A simple, everyday cookie,

Ordinary and common,

Nothing unique,

New or original


Majority of the time

People want the new,

The updated,

The better and the best


But the simple cookie,

Traditional and conventional,

Remains in the love

Of generations old and new


The golden brown surface,

The chocolate mountains,

The hills and craters upon the dough,

The roundness - smooth, yet rough


The warm, sweet aroma

That fills the nose

The sugary, comfort

That melts in the mouth


The familiar, universal

Sugary treat,

Delicious and irresistible

The simple yet delectable
