Carolina Sweets
Carolina Sweets
Missed Connections in Raleigh-Durham, NC
Her dark brown flowing fresh smelling hair
Her dark brown radiant penetrating eyes and face
As I lay upon the bed without a single care
I stare into the emptiness in a state of grace
She once answered the door in that little white blouse
And to my delight on the left side just covering her tender heart
As I stood humbly in the doorway of the big white house
Was the most wonderful little chocolate stain…Like a fine art
She has a smile and a voice that could in a single glance
Crumble the mountains and drain the oceans
Leaving a man helpless and forever in her trance
For she has worked all this magic using those many different lotions
Each night I close my eyes and lay upon my bed so warm
She’s there in the distant darkness, silence and dreamlands
I can’t talk to her, I can’t touch her but a vision has taken form
Next to my oceans her name is forever written in the sands
NOTE FROM THE MISSED CONNECTIONS CHIEF BOTTLE FINDER:
What starts out as an ode to a dark-haired beauty ends on a very strange note – and I wonder if it was intentional or not. A name written in the ocean sand is a fleeting thing – no permanence there at all. Is the subject of Carolina Sweets nothing more than a quickly passing confection?
