Lollipop

Joon Hee-Park

Taste of vanilla and caramel

mixed together.

The sweet tender taste

captivates my tongue,

numerous emotions gush into my body.

Carries my soul up to the sky

flies and dreams,

my spirit is freed from

the chains of life.

The candy shrinks away,

my soul sinks to the surface

desperate for more.

The source of happiness gone,

my dreams and hopes fade away,

only leaving,

the wrapper.
