Children's candy smiles.Heads together, giggling
over paper hearts.
Pink cupcakes parties
Tinkerbell and Transformers
on small folded slips.

Love: dressed up, trumped up.
A girl stumbles in spiked heels,
her lips plastic red.
Alone and fretting:
the rich textures of life aren't
rose petal soft dreams.
---
Come. White horse, red rose,
happily ever after.
Until tomorrow.
Chocolates hide secrets:
luscious, empty, sickly sweet.
It's Valentine's Day.
