MARZIPAN

Surrendered completely,
to his thicket of daydreams,
pleasures dipped in sweet marzipan
awash with sensualities -
fattening life.
Sheer unrequited bliss,
willed him the custodian,
chocolate fancies
through that dim looking glass,
sprinkled dalliances by moonlight,
tapping the pane and pang,
subtle growl sifting through his empty belly
ticking recesses, engorged
in marzipan -
if only the baker would unlock the door.
