Analysis of Candy Bouquet
There is something about candy that signals as divine
Something so attractive and lustrous that combines
A kid's sweet tooth with a man's desire, so fine
I couldn't possibly depict the attraction over these lines
So I'll do my best to write out the love equation like a mathematician
Or draw this graph of infatuation out like an artistic technician
I didn't think she'd notice me so I wrote this to remind her
I am the graphic designer of poetry, this poem couldn't be any finer
But upon inspection of her rich chocolate beauty and pink lip liner
I reconsider my declaration as of today
I'll always remember the true poetry lies within her, Candy Bouquet
