AT FIRST GLANCE

 
Here are some tasty treats 
To sink your teeth into
It's covered with all of your favorite desires 
Chocolate coated, strawberry fantasy 
Orange flavor, apple cinnamon 
And rum punched dipped candies 

A life looked at from a distance
As through a magnifying glass 
Filled with all the colors and glamour 
Sparking like a planet seen for the first time 
Shrouded with love, passion, and crime

You are allowed to peek into this life
In short intervals 
So as not to be sadden by the outcome 
The last shall be first

A crime of passion was committed 
When his lips met hers
Love like the dew fell softly 
His eyes were enlightened 
His heart races with excitement 
As her soft and tender embrace 
Captured him 

And then he died!
Only his heart knows why
And she never shed a tear 
She never cry..
